I remember reading one of the cam threads recently that said Mobil1 is not good for aftermarket cams. I'll try to find it for you. I don't remember what was recommended, maybe one of the guys from the help desk thread can answer!

With all due respect to PQ and everyone posting, at 61 years old and doing this shit since 1969, I said cam and lifters. Even though I dont know LS engines that well, that is what I meant when I said theory on each thread
Everything fits with my old school experience

Interesting stuff indeed.
F1, your experience is certainly noted. Internal combustion, pushrod engines are still the basic same thing. |

The low zinc content in oil has been talked about for years in the flat-tappet cam world. A properly treated aftermarket roller cam SHOULD be fine without the zinc additive.
But who knows with the manufacturing today, 1 cam could be fine and the next a piece of junk.

Sorry I have not been keeping up lately, I just read the last 3 pages, at this point, don't mess around, rebuild the complete engine top to bottom. The metal that came off the cam and lifter went through your whole engine and there are little pieces just waiting to float around and tear up more stuff. The only way to prevent continual problems is do it right, NOW. That of course is providing the new parts used don't prematurely fail.

It won't hurt. Roller cams "shouldn't" need it, if the metal is treated properly.
