[Fot] Zinc Additive.

[Barr, Scott]

I've purchased a RedLine additive, referred to as a "break-in" additive,
which says it has all the ZDDP you could want.  I've been running that
in my street GT6 for a while now, with the Castrol GTX 20w50.  So far,
so good.  Hasn't been that long (a month or so?)

Hi All

I have torn down 4 TR6 engines in the past 4 months all with wiped out
cams.
The latest was a performance reground cam with low miles and 2 lobes
severely worn.

I know this has been a topic/thread in the past but wondered what if any

Zinc Additives are out there.

For the rebuilds, I used either Brad Penn 30wt break in oil, Valvoline
Racing oil (20w50) and Rotella ( 15w40 highest in zinc of the diesel
oils)

As these engines age their owners are going to start changing their own
oil, Most have switched back to Castrol 20w50.
As I understand that formula has changed to the low zinc for emissions.
I'm running it in my engine as well.

I'm now very concerned and would like to get this under control with an
additive.

Any Suggestions?
Thanks in Advance
Glenn Franco
