Not an issue with the Coyote. True for solid lifter cam, you need ZDDP but roller cam motors don't. Ford knows what works and these come with synthetic from the get go. No worries on break in or down the road. As said, this is no longer the sixties. A friends Boss 302 race car wiped a cam at Watkins in less than 20 miles. He replaced the solid with a roller lifter and gained power as well as no issues with oiling.

Thanks Cashburn. I guess I'm still a little in the old school. And no, I don't have a SFT engine (anymore).! Yes, I have seen the same thing twice and both changed to rollers. No hope for Patrick though!

I'm pretty sure Jay will be offended at you thinking he is I!

Not sure where I strayed there, but sorry if I offended someone. Just a poke at PatrickT about his SFT setup.
