A couple alternatives;
Crane Cams # 99003-1 Break-in lube
CD2's (SLOB) Street Legal Oil Boost.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

I would Use Cenpenco Oil for Breakin. It got more Zinc than any other oil that I found. My Next pick on oil with lot of zinc is Brad Penn Racing Oil. www.bradpennracing.com Or www.CenPeCoSales.comLast edited by Racecar100; 07-20-2007 at 02:53 PM.

IMO the best alternative is roller cams and synthetic oil!!!! Costs more up front, but sure does work and last better!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Pat...This was disscussed a few weeks ago on another forum. It's not gone and it's being re packaged and sold under the AC Delco label. AC Part # 10-106. See us Ford guys do use some GM products!! Now what does need to be found out is if it's the same exact formula? That is my big question.

Here's a link to the AC Delco site; http://www.acdelco.com/html/pi_vehcare_lub.htm
Use the drop down menu, choose EOS assembly lubricant to get to 10-106. In the description it doesn't give any indication as to the ZNDP (which is the additive that drives the desire for this type material additive), but it does say it isn't intended as a lubricant additive. It could be that it doesn't stay in suspension in it's current formulation.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Rotella has also been re formulated with lower zinc content. It used to carry a diesel CI-4 rating. Now has a CJ-4 rating. Try Valvoline VR1 racing oil. 10w-30, 20w-50 and a straight 30w are available. Very good zinc content. Look for the bottles that say "not for street use". Thats the good stuff...LOL.

AutoZone here still has Coastal 15w40 in a CI-4 rating. I buy a gallon every time in town, to stock up. It is in the 1 gallon size. In reading up on the subject Coastal appears to be a fine oil.305 ci Y-block in 46 1/2 ton

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
