Reply to "roller v. flat tappet"

OK I guys I agree with you on this issue, but consider what going on with motor oil and appartently there have & are taking an additive called ZDP out of the oil. Without this additive our older style engines before 1990 need this additive for regular tappet cam system and the oil out now (except racing oil) will wear the bottom of tappets & cam shaft down ( metal pieces in engine) and then theres a potential of needing a complete overhaul. So if you go to roller tappets you dont have to worry- so when rebuilding an engine I would put roller tappets in the motor or spend $4-6 per quart on racing oil-ya know the oil will continue to go up, well thats my 2 cts
