the old rottellaT is the same. lot of old diesel engines out there . true there are newer oils for the new diesels but the old ones still need maintained . i run it in everything with no additives. last time i checked the zinc level was 1250 ppm . been a while but they have to produce oil for old engines.
i believe the majority of the cam failures were not due to the oil . bad start up has killed many a cam. water leak, fuel leak etc causing shut downs. i also suspect some failure were caused by some mfr problems.
hopefully i have done my last carb flat tappet build.Last edited by shine; 02-24-2016 at 05:23 AM.
