Re: Oil Recommendation/Solid lifter 427
I run Castrol GTX in my stock ZL-1 w/GM solid cam and lifters and never had a problem. I think the problems are with Chinese made cams and lifters, I only run GM stuff. The cam companies blame the "new" oil when it is their offshore crap that is to blame. I do think it is hype that you have to have high levels of Zinc. If you break-in your cam properly with the inner valve springs removed and lots of cam lube, you should have no problems.
