Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
I highly recommend the Valvoline VV-850 10W-30 Racing Oil also. I found it to help in the rocker arm "ball" area too,on my Chebbie. Acts almost like a synthetic when it is warm, in that you will not lose oil pressure like most regular oils. Like in the previous post, get it from NAPA and save yourself alot of money over the Mail order places.

Bradd Penn is the old Kendal green oil.It is recommended for flat tappets,lots of zinc.I believe it is the old SJ designation.Great oil reasonably priced.

Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
On my hot rod for the street I have been using Shell Rotella 15-40W and not have had any cam related problems but, I have had this case of oil around for a while. I was told that the the Feds were after the diesel oil manufacturers to lessen the amount of zinc in their diesel motor oils. Does anyone know if this has happened yet?
By the way we use Royal Purple in the race car.

Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
I just found this. It basically outlines the Amsoil synthetics I posted links to earlier in more detail:

Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
One side note, never break in a new engine with a synthetic, run it in with reg. oil first, then you can change to what ever synthetic you want and you will not have any ring sealing problems.

Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
CAM2 lubricants is coming out with a line of "Blue Blood" racing oil, a 0w-30 synthetic, and synthetic blends in 10w30 and 20w50 (and a Nitro 70, if Bailey's reading this!). Zinc levels are 2,000 ppm.

Re: Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....
455, Would it be safe to assume that once the engine is properly broken in, you could use a 1/4 bottle of the Lucas Engine Break in Additive? If a 1/2 bottle gives you 5,000 to 5,200 PPM of ZnP, a 1/4 will give you approximately 2,500 PPM which is 1,000 PPM more than that of the old conventional motor oils, or does my mathamatics not work in this case?
