Default Synthetic oil?
hey, I was wondering if it was SAFE to run synthetic oil with CTR pistons and Cams. I was told by some people that is was ok and others say don't run it. Crane says do not run sythetic with their cams. I know Synthetic oil lacks zinc. "Zinc is an anti-scuff agent and is very helpful at reducing metal-to-metal wear, such as between the cam and lifters." Any help is appreciated, thanks.
