I was at a speed shop the other day buying some oil additive for my hot rod, Chevy 350 Isky flat tappet 234 224 at .050. Need the zinc to keep the cam alive.
Normally I dump this in on top of my Castrol SM oil and so far it seems fine.
The owner warned me that I should never, ever use SN rated oil in a Gen I Chevy, even with the additive. He said something about it being manufactured differently than regular crude?
I have searched the forum and I cannot see where this issue has been mentioned or discussed.
Is this a real concern?
