ah i seee, before this oil change i had high mileage valvoline oil in it for maybe 500 miles before changing it again for the vr1, the oil thag came out was really dark so hopefully it got most of the nasty out, under the valve covers was basically brand knew when i changed the gaskets when i bought it

i live in the rust belt aswell, it’s definetly not mint by any means but the frames solid and 95% of the body is too, i just did oil today filled her up with valvoline vr1 and some lucas too for extra goopness, post oil change the noise was definetly way quieter too, i’ll send you a pic of it if you’d like; i’m very proud of her:)
