All sorts of stuff relevant to 4/4s at gomog.com. Not sure if that will help your specific queries, but may be a place to start.

don't forget to grease the propshaft uj's

I use Millers 20/50 semi synthetic oil in my crossflow, it's part of the range for classic cars, and has all the correct addatives in it that have been taken out of modern oils.

you should be running 165's @ 18psi
