[Fot] Zinc Additive.

[Tim Pettenati]

Glenn,

You can usually find Lucas Oil ZDDP additive in most auto parts
stores.  
It's called Break Oil Additive - TB Zink Plus.
It says to use a full
bottle per oil change.
I'm using a half bottle along with Valvoline ZR-1
racing oil.  
So far no problems.

Regards,

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
