Search " zinc" here as this has been discussed ad nauseum.
And by the way, to the comment above about zinc not adding much to an engine already broken in, this is NOT the case with a flat tappet. You really need to run an oil with elevated levels of zinc for the flat tappet and solid lifters. |
Too late....I'm the third owner of the car and they were just running GTX in it. I however plan to keep this bad boy for a very long time so it's in my best interest to take proper protective measures to ensure longevity. Thanks guys, I will look into using VR-1 or Brad Penn.
Edit: what viscosity are you guys using with either of these two and how often are you having to change it?
