Jim Lusk and his sons are in your area. They are good ppl. Jim is on FABO. Kim

Thanks for the pointers. I'll try to find Lusk. I don't know what FABO is, though.

Got it.
Oddly enough, it seems I've been in contact with Jim. I never followed up with him after my car went down, temporarily. Lost his info. Did a quick Facebook search and found our old conversation. Meeting with him on Friday. Thanks for the recommendation.

This just made me think to factor in cost of high zddp oil as a factor when choosing flat tappet or roller. $100 oil changes get old pretty fast.

many of my cars are converter to roller cams, and oil changes on them still are not cheap when using synthetic oil.

cost wise you would need to take the difference in costs of the oil changes and figure how many oil changes to make up the difference.
I really just chose the cam type by what the application is and don't really constrain to costs.

How many oil change would it take you to recover the $$$ spent on the roller set up?

It’s not the only factor, but it is A factor.
