[BaadAssGremlins] Zinc Phosphate additive for flat tappet cams

["jgray_55" <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some where recently i read a small article in a magazine/or the AMC 
list??Maybe here?.....about the "EOS" oil additive that GM sells. Part 
## 1052367. It comes in a 16 oz bottle. GM USED to sell it as a oil 
additive,NOW calls it assembly lube. The parts man told me that one. I 
remember it saying to add one pint when changing oil. Don't remember 
WHERE i read about it?? I have read before that newer oil formulations 
do NOT have nearly enough zinc phosphate in it to properly protect/lube 
flat tappet cam lobes. From what i've read...this is the leading cause 
of flat tappet camshaft lobe failures!!! Newer engines are roller 
tappet/lifter. Thus not needing the zinc phosphate. ALSO supposedly the 
zinc phosphate adds to pollution. Did anyone else see the small 
article? I wrote the #### down while reading it...just don't remember 
WHERE i saw it.I know that MC at Bulltear sells an oil that he has 
blended to his specs with alot more zinc phosphate in it. Has anyone 
used his oil, OR the GM additive???? Email me directly or call me 309-
338-3210. Thanks alot,Joe
