Did they say not to run full syn? If so is it ok to run a syn. blend? I don't see why they would say that. I mean ive heared of not running syn trans fluid but thats because it would i guess make the friction material on the blocking rings, etc. lose soemof its friction. If that makes any sense.

if the cams need less than syn maybe pull the s/c a break it in then re install the blower after break in? ( if thats the case i would throw thoes cams right thru crowers front window!!)

If it's not synthetic it's called conventional - or semi-syn. You can still run a varying viscosity/mulit grade like 10W-30, just use to conventional version, dino means the same thing because it comes from the earth (dead dino's) and isn't made inhouse.

You are like a broken record! How many times are we going to here this story! Maybe if you changed your oil more than every 10,000 miles you would not have this problem! Get a Procharger next time!

If and when I do cams, I am going to continue to use full synthetics. I'm thinking they meant to use conventional for the break-in.
