Protects Flat-Tappet Cams
The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to
classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one
another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the
two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve
operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced
efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather
than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds
extra strain on anti-wear additives like the zinc and phosphorus in
zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels
of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other
areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus
formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical
splash-lubricated components require.
