Since I am in the works of getting a cam together this is something I need to understand better. Is it best to stay synthetic? What oil weight should I be running? How do I know which oil to go with...I see you guys talk about something with high zinc in it, but what is considered a high amount? Also, I see you guys talking about ZDDP. No clue what it is so I quickly googled it and appears to be an additive to the oil? So this isn't something that is already mixed in with a quart of oil?
