Lifter failure

You would be shocked at the amount of people with FT cams run regular conventional or synthetic oil after a correct break in and wonder why their cam turned into a broomstick.

Have a buddy flatten two cams on a chebbie 350 that way, and absolutely will not believe its the oil he was using.

In the mid-2000's I had found a document from Mobil 1 with all the additive packages for their various oils listed out by product line. There was one that had INSANE amounts of ZDDP and that's what I ran when I stabbed a Comp Cam in my 360. I did the startup lube and all that junk. I cranked on it for a few minutes with no fire before I figured out that I had the distributor 180 out, and that ****** wiped 4 or five lobes.
So now I'm a roller cam man.
