Slightly OT ....

Anyone here know the designation on any oil container that indicates heavy zinc content?

I have got a couple of motors going together and will be using NON-roller cam.

I would use a roller but since the roller lifters I have heard of here and elsewhere are not reliable .....I will pass on that idea.




hmm...roller lifters have only been in small block mopars for 24 years now......the OEM hydraulic rollers are VERY reliable.




Hey patrick .... take a look at my 3:25am post.




BB app is a little different animal. also, I think most of the problems seen are with solid rollers, very aggressive ramps, and lots of spring pressure. a hydraulic roller lifter from a reputable company (comp, crower, etc), with a not-quite so aggressive lobe so you can keep the spring pressures down a bit I think would live fine. I'd be more concerned in a BB app about the bronze dist. drive gear from a longevity standpoint. although I thought crane used to make hydraulic street rollers with a pressed on cast gear so you didn't need to run a bronze dist drive gear.
