Studebaker Rockne 1932 engine

[Dodge]

Dear people

I'm again looking to the engine from the Studebaker

First what kind of oil can I use ?

Has someone maybe a Studebaker Rockne engine lying down in a barn and don't used it

Because I saw when I lay down under the engine whiteout the Carter pan

They have already welded the crack inside the engine many years ago

Last year I put coolant in the engine and it was dripping from a part of the well down

I try first a liquid what close the little crack

But that's not a long time solution

We will see first what happens if the crack is not leaking anymore

I don't use the car quite often so it's a cheap solution 

Or another welding or a second hand engine without a crack

If the cheap solution doesn't work out

Thanks and enjoy

I believe Bob Kapteyn at Joliet Studebaker indicated he had a Rockne engine a while back. Doesn't mean he has it now. http://jolietstudebaker.com/
