never mind...your are a genius, Congratulations on your great mind.... This has nothing to do with synthetics vs conventional oil. It has to do with flat tappet vs roller and the fact that a flat tappet needs different lubricity and protection. Talking to you is like talking to a LIberal...

Comedic...you have squandered every opportunity to prove your assumptions by attempting to minimize my assertions. You have lost track by attacking me and not addressing the subject at hand. Your argument is not with me...you are arguing with science. I believe I have laid out more than enough material for my case instead of hearsay. Not investing any more of my time with this non-discussion.

Here ya go there chuckles. you keep spouting off how great you are but it comes down to the fact that if you flatten a cam, didnt follow the manufacturers recommendations, then not only are you a moron but you are **** out of luck for getting any recourse for your mistake
