Check out Shell Rotella T, they reduced the amount
of ZDDP but is said to provide the necessary level
of protection. I'll be breaking in a new cam is the
next few weeks so I hope so! (was and I think still
is recomended by Comp Cams) One last thing, I've
been using Red Line assembly lube, can't harm but,
I feel, it can help.
