Plus my own personal experience of over a dozen flat tappets and have yet to smoke a lobe. I put the break in **** all over the lobes, fire that bitch up, get the timing close and hold it at 2k till it's hot. Never pulled the dampeners out. I usually run valvoline 50w vr1 in flat tappet motors, never had a cam issue.
