ZPaste

The ultimate cam assembly lubricant

This lubricant has been specifically developed for the break-in requirements of flat-tappet engines like the Lotus TwinCam.  The special formulation keeps ZPaste on the contact points of the camshaft and tappets, protecting parts from damage during initial start-up.  After dissolving in the oil, the components in ZPaste continue to protect engine parts during break-in. 

You can use this cam lube whenever you have removed the cams for valve adjustments, to protect the lobes and tappets from scuffing when you restart the engine.  ZPaste will increase the ZDDP level of your oil as it dissolves.

ZPaste comes in a 5/8 oz packet for only $5.95 

Buy 3 packets for only $14.85 ($4.95 each)

ZDDPlus
Engine Oil Additive ZDDP

Attention TwinCam Owners:
Avoid cam and tappet wear! 
The TC engine needs this additive.

After over 70 years of use, the EPA mandated that all domestic oil producers remove ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate) from all conventional and synthetic motor oil.  If your engine was designed before 1989 the non-roller lifters require ZDDP to avoid premature wear.  ZDDP alters bearing and journal surface characteristics to prevent metal-to-metal contact.  Under extreme conditions like a high performance engine, ZDDP reduces the tendency of parts to scuff or gall under heavy loads.  Just add ZDDPlus to every 4-5 quart oil change and your engine will be protected.  ZDDPlus works with any conventional or synthetic motor oil.  ZDDPlus should not be used on an engine that has a catalytic converter or OBD.

ZDDPlus makes any engine oil safe for use with older engines designed to be used with SF or earlier motor oil.  The SF and earlier oils contained ZDDP, an extremely efficient extreme pressure lubricant for older (pre-1988) engines in general and high-performance flat-tappet engines like your Lotus. 

ZDDPlus is an oil supplement that contains very high concentrations of the additive ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl-Dithio-Phosphate), which has been the primary EP (Extreme Pressure) ingredient in all quality motor oils for over 70 years. 

Add one 4 oz. bottle of ZDDPlus to 4 or 5 quarts of your engine oil and protect your engine by bringing the ZDDP back up to the SF designated level of 0.15% by weight. 

A single 4 oz. bottle of ZDDPlus is only $8.95

Wire Hose Clamps

Original style hose clamps are available for a proper restoration.  Measure the outside diameter of your hose to determine the size clamp you need.

Stainless Steel Exhaust Clamps

T-bolt band clamps can be tightened much more than standard worm-gear clamps.  And these stainless clamps don't deform pipes like standard muffler clamps, making removal of exhaust pipes much easier.  It's also easy to orient these clamps so that they don't reduce your car's ground clearance.

(Measure pipe outside diameter to determine size needed)

All sizes $8.95 each
