I'm at 6 years, ~35,500 miles on this 1776 build... now looking like 
it has serious cam and/or lifter damage. At the very least you might 
want to half your valve check intervals, and get some ZDDP in there. 
I just bought a 5-pack of ZDDPlus on eBay for $39.95 shipped, so shop 
around... Amazon's prices were considerably higher when you add in 
shipping. I've got a '65 Cadillac and a '76 Winnebago (Chrysler 440) 
to feed as well as the square, so I'm going to be using lotsa ZDDP 
from here on out. I don't drive the Caddy much but I don't even want 
to think about the potential damage I've done to the 440, which was 
rebuilt in 2007 and already has ~30K brutal RV miles on it, without a 
drop of zinc. <sigh>
