Hmmm. I'm at 67K miles and have run M1 5w30 since day one with no issues--6K since the blower install, 36K since the cam swap.

That is correct. We use mobile 1 BUT only 0w-40 which has a good zinc content.
In the last few years we have seen a good amount of cam/lifter failures. All different brand cams so I rule the cam out. Most common answer was using whatever oil was on sale. I think the cams falling apart is what causes the oil pump pressure valves to stick. I've had a mellings stick before. So, best I could say is use the correct oil and filter, change regularly. |

Think about it like this: The OP was probably like you a few months ago, and popped into a thread like this and said "I'm on xx,xxx miles with my setup with no issues." And now the OP had a failure and you popped in his thread saying the same thing..... See what I did there?

I'm still running M1 5w-30 on this car but my internals are all stock. I'm starting to wonder if I should change to something else next time. VR1 would be my choice if I do. I've just recently started running VR1 in my '69 after reading about all the oil issues.

Everything im reading about ZDDP is about flat tappet cams. I use Amsoil 5w30 signature. Id like to keep useing it. Maybe ill switch to Zrod when I get my cam. What will this do to the cats. Im planning on ARH lt headers with cats and cam at the same time in the spring. cam specs. 230/242 .612 114LSA
