As said countless times before, it ends up being a personal choice kinda thing. To me it's an unnecessary risk with a comparative cheap $400 buy-in, not to mention that "roller cam" bragging rights..  |
I wonder whether the additives work or not, too. I just use Brad Penn, which is really the same old hi-level
zinc/phos
oil that you could get decades ago along with a bottle of the old EOS. I haven't heard of too many lobe wipes any more. It seems like everyone has caught on and maybe the bad lifters have all died by now. Some of the smarter builders seemed to think there were some weak metal lifters that were the main culprits.
