    i used rotella and a bottle of comp cams lube break in stuff, the stuff tech listed is good as well a couple of guys here sware by it, but if your worried about zinc valvoline vr1 has a couple of different grades and they actually advertise right on the bottle that it contains the right amounts of ZDDP for flat tappet cams. anybody who advertises it must be good) everybody else is shunning the zinc, i use straight 50 in the nova and its 3.89 a quart cant beat that. also when priming it may take awhile it took me a good 20-25 minutes before every single pushrod was spurting oil upon to the rockers i was like wow it takes this long!?
