I have a newly rebuilt 502, bored .030 over, flat tappet cam and roller rockers. The cam has been in before and is thus run in. Question is what oil to run. I have some Mobil 1 15W-50W to which I add a high zinc additive because of the cam. Any comments for break in vs. long term post break in ? Duration of break in period?

I dont do flat tappet anymore but I used Rotella. Do a search you will find several post's on it.
I use it in my boats, trucks, and cars.

You are better off running a high zinc oil and not adding anything.
