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
