Oh, I didn't mean a "one year deal" in that they blew up in a year - I meant they only put 292's in boats a couple years, and information is scarce. My bad, ha ha.

Interesting to hear that your 261 has relatively little wear after 98,000 in a two ton truck at fairly high RPM. Kind of reinforces what I'm thinking.

I personally use Delo 400 15w40 diesel oil in my stuff. High quality, readily available, inexpensive. Also, later hydraulic lifter engines still need the EP zinc, it's roller tappet lifters that don't really need all the EP stuff. I'm all-too-well versed in the self changing oil engines, they're real common around my place. Too common, really... I need to work on that!

Anyone have anything to say about the 292 in particular? There's got to be someone on here that's beat on one in the fifty years they've been around.
