Zinc additives are not an issue in any normal flathead, there is nowhere near the valve spring pressure to require higher than normal zinc. I build high performance OHV engines and the zinc additives are required because of the high valve spring pressures on the flat tappet cams. But not in a flathead running anywhere near normal spring pressure.
