Are there any zinc additives out there that can be added and actually add protection ? Or does zinc need to be " mixed" into the oil by the manufacturer for it to be effective ?

My problem with the oil theory is, why is this only now happening and on stock motors too? Double springs and fast ramp rates have been around for some time and the factory cams may be produced on the same cam blanks as Comps for all I know. A super high quality oil may help, but damn I hate the idea of not being able to buy oil at any parts house of my choice. I also worry lifters could be the cause. When GM notified dealers about the problem it was the lifters that got new part numbers.
