"How did the cam and lifters look (oblique ZDDP reference)?"
Another very good question ...
Again completely undamaged.
After earlier suffering a serious lifter and cam failure in that engine I
had taken enormous care to condition them very carefully on initial start
up with the replacements and used VR1 non synthetic oil exclusively
thereafter.
This experience and others have me pretty well convinced that lifter/cam
problems are usually initiated on first start up of a new engine and if
they get through the first few minutes of running they will last well.
BTW I've sold all my holdings in Valvoline =F0=9F=A4=A3=F0=9F=A4=A3
