Stocker Flat Tappet Oil....

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??

455, it would be interesting to speak to someone from Lucas on this subject. I have two points regarding my statement 1) If a 1/4 bottle of the break in lube is equivalent to 2,500 PPM, which is better than the old conventional oils, why waste the product and spend more than you have to using a 1/2 a bottle. 2) Laws of diminishing returns; how much ZnP do you really need in your oil to prevent a flat tappet cammed engine from damage? If it is 1,500 PPM anything above and beyond that number is also a waste of product and a waste of money. This is a real good thread to discuss.
