The cam is a regrind cam and it was grinded from a crane cam---i don't know whether it needs the zinc or not all the time but guy here who builds is pretty much a legend around here an ya just say yes sir when he tells ya to do it....
My builder told me to use zinc additive all the time or cam go flat. Well i called a diffrent parts store an they got the zinc additve i can add to my oil-i was thinking castrol 10w-30 with the zinc...Iv got so much oil pressure it leaks a little off the side of intake and seems to blow alittle out vavle cover.
I agree with ya the intake may need a thicker gasket and the valve cover gasket might not be centered. its so little about moisture type so i havent messed with it yet and thought wow look at the freaking oil pressure-70psi-an was just considering it as a possiabliltyMy builder told me to use zinc additive all the time or cam go flat
If you have oil coming from the intake and valve covers, there is more of a problem then oil pressure. The amount of oil pressure you have should not be blowing it out the intake and valve covers.
Ok i will check it out...i went and got 10w-40castrol(sales guy their talked me into 10w-40 instead of 10w-30) got filter and some lucus zinc additive. Before i do switch it all im going to take your advice an check out that site-thank you
ok read it-so i need to keep that zinc add. in it all the time-glad iv been doing that since birth of cam-talk to a salesguy at part store .Whos dad races with a 1200hp car and found out the hardway by not using the zinc add. Cost was 4000.00 to rebuild. He went in detail about what it all did...
Ok thank you.
