On the  other hand...I also just read somewhere about
motor oils that the oil of  today has less zinc in it,
which is causing premature wear in flat tappets  and
things of the like...


Ryan,
I read this too....BUT IT'S TOTALLY WRONG! Current oils must meet Spec GA  
which requires a really stiff oil test to show that there isn't more wear on  
flat tappets (i.e., lifters) than with previous oils. In fact, the spec requires 
 LESS wear.
