Lemmm117 'Bolter L Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 192 Minnesota	So I think I am going to just try some NOS lifters with the existing cam. Currently the engine has 20w50 in it, with maybe 500 miles on it. Can I add zinc additive to this 20w50 oil for break in, or should I dump it in favor of something else. If so, what is recommended for a break in oil? Thanks, Lem
