Jim brings up some good points. While I have run 0w-10 for over a year and 10k in my 2.5 flat tappet jeep, it was a (e)SL additive package. I think my valve springs are somewhere around 200-220lbf max and 70-80lbf on the seats. Nothing to get excited about at all. I don't even have the breathing available to float the things if I tried.
Now I'd do it ..but I'm of the belief that time will destroy this type of engine before anything else.
