          Concerning high zinc content oil, several different sites have stated that high zinc content oils are hard on cat converters and can cause premature failure.

                No it doesn't. It's a roller motor

                  no. 86+ are roller at least.

                      1986, I believe. My '85 TC is flat tappet but the two '87s are roller.
