Product Description

ZINC (ZDDP) is widely known to be the prime ingredient to protect flat tappet cams and valve train components within engines with high valve spring pressure, to control aggressive camshaft profiles. ZINC is also the protective additive necessary to protect older vintage engines that were produced when Zinc was the primary additive used to provide the last measure of protection against catastrophic failure. The proper amount of ZINC is to be used in relation to engine oil for the ideal amount of protection. Zinc provides the proper amount of the ZDDP additive to treat six quarts of engine oil, giving the proper ratio of 3000-3200 ppm for proper engine break in and protection of high pressure valve train components. Blended with a light base mineral oil that aids in the quick and complete dispersion into any engine oil for fast activation and protection during first startup. For maximum protection ZINC must be reapplied to engine oil when the oil and filter are changed.

How Does ZDDP / ZINC Work in Engine Oil?

As ZINC (ZDDP) is heated it creates a film that coats the engine parts with an anti-wear layer, think of it as a sacrificial layer that will wear away preventing wear on your vital engine parts. This is very beneficial for flat tappet motors, which have as the name suggests a flat lifter. When the engine is running the cam lobe is in constant contact with the flat surface of the tappet. This creates high temperatures due to the friction between the two. If the protective film created by the ZDDP was not present this heat and friction would wear away at the lifters and cam leading to engine failure.

ZDDP is Vital for Engine Break In

Breaking in an engine is vital to ensure proper sealing of the piston rings as well as setting the lifters to a new cam. This process will create a lot of heat and wear as engine parts wear away to fit the small areas that machining and manufacturing are just not able to fit up exactly. With Zinc these areas will be treated with a sacrificial layer preventing more wear than is needed to break the engine in.
