My quad has a stupid design flaw. The exhaust camshaft sits in a tub of oil. The intake camshaft is up in the air!
I ran the expensive M/C oils including Amsoil, Mobil-1 and Motule. I ran 10w-40. The cam still wore out.
I replaced the cam, rocker and rings.
Right now it has QS 20w-50 in it with some of Torco's Magnetic friction reducer. I'm gonna stick with the 20w-50 oils to see how they do in the cam wear department.
I feel Moly should be used in this situation as a last barrier to help prevent cam wear. There's not much info on 20w-50 here.
Would say Pennz 20w-50 have as much Moly as the 10w-30? Should I stick with the Torco additive with it's pounds of Moly? How much per qt of oil?
The Moly doesn't seem to affect the wetclutch at this point.
