k I got my carb problem fixed, now onto the next one. alot of e85 got into the oil from when the carb was having issues. Im changing the oil tonight, is there any additives or anything I should add to the oil or just change the oil and filter like normal?

Is your cam already broke in I assume? I'd just add half a can of Lucas oil ZDDP additive either way. What oil are you using?

Additive

What does the additive do?

 

[cr74hb]

Its Zinc Dialkyl-Dithio-Phosphate and it replaces what the Epa has regulated out of modern oil. The Epa has determined that the zddp in oil was contributing to the destruction of Catalytic converters and smog.
So now most of the oils have drastically cut back on the Zddp.

Zddp helps the break in on new cams and cam lobe and lifter wear over the life of the motor

We've had a few motors that have come back for a freshen up that the cam look like garbage.
The Lucas is just what we use and seems to help.

Veno has an awsome thread on Zddp stickied at the top of drivetrain and performance.

I've been running Cam-Shield ZDDP additive http://www.cam-shield.com/
Good stuff! Excellent customer service. And the best ZDDP package I've found while reviewing the oil sampling/testing results.
