CamGuard?

Benefited greatly from this thread. Thanks Gentlemen!

Because of this I have a case of Brad Penn and some Delo in the garage waiting to go into some projects. Curious, are any of the experts here familiar with a product called CamGuard (ASL)?

I came across it after following a newsletter dedicated to maintaining and extending life of older technology, air cooled aircraft engines. Oil analysis is pretty much the standard there and getting approvals from the Feds is a tough task.

I was attracted to it for the anti corrosion qualities for more infrequently operated engines. Being generally leery of "additives", I watched the reports over the years to the point that it would appear that the experience of rebuild shops and oil analysis labs is that this stuff works.

Now that I am finally a Pcar (88 3.2 Coupe) owner, I am looking at their wear tests as it might relate to flat tappet designs and lower zinc oils. While I have not seen formulations discussed, I notice they reference needs caused by low zinc oils but they specifically state that there is no phosphorous (for cat converters).

Now that I have started running it in the aircraft I will watch zinc trends, but thought its apparent track record was worth asking about here for all of the obvious reasons.
