Renegade,
Some people don't understand that technology applies to all machinery, not just a specific car, therefore they close their minds to something that will benefit them to know.

Thanks for taking time posting. Rep is on the way.-Bob

well mainly its the style of cams. the flat tappets style and when zinc and phosphorates are removed the protective barrier is lessened and more wear occurs.
