Can I just add two quarts of 50 weight Valvoline racing oil with zinc to my 20-50 weight regular Valvoline and be comfortable I've got enough zinc?
Also, when I put a new cam in 10 years ago, I just used heavy assembly lube. I wasn't aware I needed to add zinc paste to the lobes and run 30 minutes at 2000 rpms for break in.
I know it's conjecture, but here I am ten years later hearing a little ticking around the lifters, and no amount of valve adjustment will cure it. Could it be that lack of zinc these years have those lifter worn badly. As I recall I really only added zinc to my 20-50 oil maybe one or two times--until I started adding some 50 weight Valvoline with zinc.
Thx for the thoughts.
