Interesting to see the various brands, thanks MIke !

Here is the LUcas chart I just found. The Drag Oil5/20  is at 6795ppm ZDDP !

I used VR-1 oil as well and during the last rebuild, the bearings could have been reused (didn't). The cam (journal end, not the lobes) did have wear, but I think it came from a soft, "new chilled" blank, not the oil. Here's a nice chart from Speedway motors with zinc by brand, even ones they don't sell. VR-1 is good, just not the highest concentration on the list.

Got a reground cam in the mail over the weekend. At the risk of sparking another oil debate, I’ve attached their oil warning and recommendations. 

Interesting in what oils are not listed, specifically VR1 20-50 racing oil which I’ve been using with great results for over 14 years in multiple cars/engines. 

Any thoughts on this?
