RE: True, but...

Then everyone, including manufacturers using flat tappets, would be wiping cams day in and day out, Greg. I don't doubt that the absence of zinc has a role in many problems people are having but I'm inclined to believe that the absence of the zinc cushion makes following the rules critical for no or fewer problems.

But, in support of what you offer, if I were him I would strongly consider the EOS since whatever he's doing or not doing now clearly isn't working for him.

Also, while I personally do not do the oil restricting thing (I like my valve train and springs to take an oil bath) I don't see that as being behind the failures. While there may not be as much chance oil hitting and being batted by the crank through valley drainback, there's usually more than enough oil coming off the rods to get the job done without it.
This thread, so far...
