Absolutely true. Any engine builder who is not using molybenum assembly 
grease and high-ZDDP run-in oil is courting cam failure. In fact, if a builder 
has not had cam failure (where the cam contact surface is actually torn to 
pieces), then they are probably using grease with moly and oil with ZDDP 
without even knowing about it.
