The naked engine block is a seriously beautiful piece of engineering art. Thanks for posting these pics!

I'll second what others have said about oil-LL01 approval (in the states) or LL04 in Europe. Castrol 0w40 recently dropped the LL01 rating, but it is great oil and safe to use as it retains similarly stringent Porsche A40 and Mercedes 229.5. I have BMW Twin Power Turbo 5w30 (Shell/Pennzoil) in my car now, but 10 quarts of Castrol 0w40 wait on the shelf.
