<VV> OIL

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Rich - Virtually all Corvair use Hydraulic lifters. Part of your reference  
note says there in no need for it in Hydraulic-lifter motors. Why are folks 
 worrying about the ZDDP amounts, if it isn't needed? Or is it just as 
important  because we are talking about the lifter to cam lobe face contact, 
which is  almost the same with a Hydraulic vs. solid-lifter set-up. I can 
understand that  it is not-needed in a roller-cam motor. Any thoughts?

FYI:  The origination of ZDDPlus was by a man who operates a facility  that 
evaluates DNA (similar to where samples are sent on your favorite cop TV  
program...CSI, etc.).  He compared 'SF' oil with current oils (now 'SM')  and 
determined what was missing, chemically...thus the creation of  ZDDPlus.  
I've been distributing the product for quite a few  years and it is in every 
one of my solid tappet motors (no need for hydraulic  lifters and a no-no' 
for catalytic  converters).
