Cam prep...

[Chuck Leeper]

My reasons are:

1. Synthetic oil will drain down off cylinder walls, bearings and the cam in about 2 days. Regular oil will never drain off the metal surfaces.

2. The life of crankcase oil is determined by contamination which is from 1000-3000 miles in a GN no matter if it is regular or synthetic oil.

3. There is no advantage to use synthetic oil in a GN I have ever heard or seen, so why waste the $$$?

Just received the 206 for the 87.
The instructions suggest use of the "triks" we are discussing, here.
Lifter bore groove, EDM hole in the lifter base, ZDDP oil, ZDDP additive.
Additionally, they have an option to have the cam treated w/ a process they call "Pro Plasma. Pt # 1-111-1.
Our supplier didn't mention this. I doubt they even are aware of it. Had I seen it, it would have been on this cam. I am returning the cam to be treated.
NE1 have a price, experience , w/ this product?
