Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....

[455]

njk53, I am no expert on this, only know what Lucas suggested, that was half a bottle in 5 qts. of oil for stock eliminator engine after break-in. Not knowing for sure, do not want to miss lead you, therefor can not confirm your thinking. It may also be that the chemisty of the zn is a factor??

A 1/4 bottle of additive contributing 2,500 ppm of zinc is diluted by 5 quarts of oil, it would appear to add about 500 ppm of zinc to the overall mixture.

Maybe I'm not saying it quite right, but it should get the idea across, I hope.

Can 455 confirm that? Or does the bottle say the increase is for the total mixture including the5 quarts of oil?
