Keoke, GTX is not a suitable zinc oil, forget Castrol, those days are over. Steve, don't worry about finding anyhting in VR1 except dino, you have to have special documentation to buy the true Valvoline racing synthetics. Dino VR1 is extremely popular with the circle track crowd in the straight 50 weight and the 20/50, it's as common as about anything you could find, heck if they run out of it around here, riots would start.
This whole flat tappet engine break in with zinc oils has been around for a while, nascar guys told me about 5 years ago, but the LBC community stumbled across it last year, and I never saw anyhting get so twisted around in my life. I plan on speaking on this subject at my next LBC club meeting, more about the myths than anything else.
So here we go again, so people pay attention, this is only a issue for breaking in a new motor with a solid lifter cam, which is what we have, after break in , use whatever the heck you want. Oh and unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last 20 years, make sure you get a properly hardend cam (nitrited) or billet cam and good hardened lifters to match the cam.
