It seems like my Crane Gold roller rockers are getting more chattery ever since the cold weather came on. Is this normal? Has it happened to anyone else?
Isnt that the brand where people said they always ticked? There was a thread about this like a year ago about it. One are mine are ticking but i got Ford Motorsport 1.6's but my problem is my lifter/lifters...i think. If your oil pressure is low it can cause some ticking.
The oil is a little too thick for the cold weather, a change to a thinner oil would be could all around. It will pump up to the top of the motor easier, and be a lot easier on the oil pump as well.

If I might ask, why the use of such a thick oil in your engine? With tight clearances comes resistance to flow - in other words, where the thick stuff just cannot flow well. 10w-30 should be fine just about all-year round. For the person that likes to run two different types, 10w-40 should be about the thickest and 5w-30 about the thinnest for a 302. No real advantage (more like disadvantage) to running anything heavier or lighter.
