Got this off another site:
The Zinc has been removed from the oil, and because of this, it is causing cam failure in most OHV engines. To fix this, you need to buy a zinc additive and add it to the oil. I found this out a few weeks ago, and I recently comfirmed it.

alot of oils cant be used to run in a cam anymore as certain additives have been removed. you can buy the additive to use for running a cam in. you can also just buy run in oil that will do the same job.
