I use Millers 10w-50 but any decent brand oil around that viscosity should be fine.

If it is a standard car with normal use, daily drive then you can also use a 5w-40 as well.

I assume head gasket isn't included in original internals.

At 100k on mapped hawkeye running 285ish bhp I went forged as the head gasket went. Pistons were still in good nick according to the engine builder.

I'm sure Brownpantsracing on here is pushing 1.35 bar on original internals.
