To our valued customers: As many of you already know, there have been dramatic increases in flat tappet camshaft failures over the past few years. According to our research, this is due mostly to recent changes in motor oil formulas. Current strict emissions standards have pushed the oil companies to pull zinc, phosphorus, and other high pressure lubricants out of the oils. The fact that most, if not all, late model motors are factory-equipped with roller tappet cams allowed the change. This has become so problematic for the flat-tappet world that Hotrod Magazine published an article on the subject [When Good Cams Go Bad, June 2006]. The life of a flat tappet camshaft depends on proper lubrication. Inferior oil formulas put your camshaft and motor at risk! Other camshaft failures can be attributed to a use of low quality off-shore produced “budget” lifters. While they are a cheap alternate to the ones we sell, as with most things, you get what you pay for. Here at Schneider Racing Cams, we have always strived to maintain the highest standards in camshaft production, using only the highest quality products. As such we will only warrantee our camshafts when run with our accompanying valve train components and when a premium lubricant is used. Please see below for a list of recommended oils.
