Absolutely rapid - K, break any motor in for 500 miles on a good mineral oil based motor oil containing ZDDP, afterwards its OK (recommended by me) to switch to synthetics.

There is BUZZ all over the internet on the subject of flat tappet camshaft wear. Its a very big deal. I found an article stating the current limit (maximum) for zddp in gasolione engine motor oil is 0.01% by weight.

Below is a link to the entire article where I found that info, its good reading, at least you'll know your moderator isn't full of cr*p!
