[Fot] Oil weights?

[Joe Boruch]

Synthetics like Mobil 1 don't have the zinc and phosphorus needed for the flat
tappets.  I ran Mobil 1 at one time and did have some cam wear.   I know
others on the list are using Mobil 1.  At one point Chevy was not warrantying
some motors if Mobil 1 was used.  I changed to Redline for a couple of years
and now am using Joe Gibbs.  The Joe Gibbs is made specifically for flat
tappet motors.  The viscosity to use is based on bearing clearances.  The Joe
Gibbs oil is expensive (about $10-$12/quart), but so is a new cam or engine.
I also use the Brad Penn break in oil when breaking in new motors.  Joe(B)
