Default Re: Carbon Buildup and Stuck Valves

Yeah interesting about titanium being added to some oils! I have just been using a Rislone zddp additive along with Rotella 15-40 in my '72, Rotella with no additive in my '55 and I recently got a low miles engine for the '70. It was being run with Mobil 1 and a zddp additive so I plan on doing the same thing as it did it's first 30,000 on.

If it was already mentioned, ignore this comment, but from what I understand the primary reason for the EPA regs the feds implemented was that they claimed that the zinc damaged catalytic converters.
