I was reading a recent addition of Corvette Fever about the "modern" oils on the market missing key ingredients which prevent the wear of the (non-roller) flat tappet lifter against the cam shaft. This ultimately prevents the tappet from rotating and causes premature wear of the cam shaft. I was even more shocked when I read that synthetic oils are too slippery and prevent the cam shaft from rotating the tappet, ultimately causing premature wear of the cam. The article proceeded to recommend using diesel rated oils, racing oils or additives such as a break in additive when you are installing a new cam.
