Top end clatter / lifter tick? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Thanks everyone for your input. It sounds like my best course of action now is a combination of warmer weather, lower-viscosity oil, perhaps more Marvel, and longer runtime to really allow the oil to come up to temperature.

Sure enough, the oil temp gauge had just barely moved off its lower stop after 15+ minutes of idle in 30-35 degree ambient.
