Just had my E-/Type jag engine totally rebuilt. Added GP1. When first starting I get a "knocking" somewhere in the engine until the oil pressure comes up. I never remember getting that with conventional oils. Any advice? After pressure comes up with GP1 engine is smooth as silk. Am I doing damage?
I was expecting a test or at least specs, not a sales pitch! I am using Redline Oil which is full synthetic and also has a high zinc additive for classic motors. It is available on Amazon with free shipping.

Is this oil as good as Brad Penn? I have a 70 Z/28 with the original LT1 using a solid lifter cam that needs the zinc protection.
