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.
