A lot of discussion has taken place here and other places about the issues with "modern" SFI rated oils, and especially synthetics, related to premature cam/lifter failure in flat tappet engines.  As I do more research, I tend to beleive the threat more.... BUT.

I have about 10k miles on my 292.  I broke it in with conventional oil, and after a brief period converted to Mobil 1, and have been running that ever since.  See the problem??  What do I do now?  CW says you cant convert from Synth TO conventional.  Is there a specific additive i should look for?  Is there a synthetic diesel oil that would work instead?  HELP!

Please, any recommendations, and be specific about oils/brands/weights.  I really need the help from all the brain power on this board!!!

THANKS
