I always used race oil in it, SWEPCO. That stuff's like $9 a quart. I dunno that's just my experience with that engine, like I said, it could have just been a bad combination of things because the bearings looked like they they had 30k, but the crank, more like 150k lol. I just recommend building an engine that way you know what you have and somewhere to go to if you run into a problem.
