Yeah, I used it for years. But then back around the early 2000s I had to =
replace the cam. All the lobes were scored, and the lifters spalled. =
That=E2=80=99s when I started hearing about zinc and the absence of =
same. Somewhere between being rated =E2=80=9CSG=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9CSM=E2=
=80=9D all the zinc went away. It took me a while to find a good high =
zinc oil that was locally available.
I replaced the lifters again last fall, as a precaution, since I had the =
head off anyway. One was just starting to show spots.
