the best motor oil for flat tappet cams.
-
many of you might not be aware that the ZDDP level in modern motor oil has been rapidly declining since the mid-1990s..
ZDDP has been an important additive to engine oils for over 70 years, and has an excellent track record at protecting the sliding metal-to-metal cam lifter interface. ZDDP protects by creating a film on cams and flat lifter contact points in response to the extreme pressure and heat at the contact point. The film of zinc and phosphorus compounds provides a sacrificial wear surface protecting the base metal of the cam and lifter from wear. In the course of normal service, this conversion of ZDDP to zinc and phosphorus compounds depletes the ZDDP level in the oil. Studies show that depending on the specific engine and severity of duty, after 2000-4000 miles of operation, the level of ZDDP can drop below that considered adequate to provide wear protection to the cam and lifters.

Typical jerk spammers with their typical sales pitch BS. Why don't you become an advertiser the honest way instead of the dishonest way.
Yeah I would buy oil from a dishonest sales person.:unsure: -
this is not spam, I'm just letting the classic car community know that my company makes the best American made 20-50 motor oil fortified with zinc and phosphorous. I'm also letting you know that most modern oils could be potentially dangerous for your cam in the long run.

Lets see, new member and so far all of your postings have been spread out around this forum promoting your oil.... but its not spam.
If it smells like spam, taste like spam and sounds like spam its most likely spam.
So now we know you're a liar because you stated your spam is not spam. But that just goes along with only an idiot would trust the word of a sales man pushing his product. -
Oh and I see someone finally clicked on the karma for me. I'm sure I have you to thank for that
