Then they changed the formulations to make catalytic converters last longer. 3 years ago the flat tappet cam in my Ford 302 engine went flat requiring replacement of both the cam & lifters. 2 years ago the cam in my TR3's engine got replaced because of severe pitting. I only use oil with ZDDP any more. Like others I have switched to Valvoline VR1, except I'm running the synthetic stuff. TeriAnn ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
