I am running Schubeck ceramic solid flat tappet camshaft, I have read posts where the only part that wears with this setup is the camshaft, so if my camshaft lasts 20-30000 miles that will be fine as I will probably give the engine a freshen by then.
Oil, I have been in touch with the Motul rep, and 15w-50 300 competiton did really well in some tests, better than Castrol RS 10W-60, the reason is simple Motul is full
synthetic like
Amsoil oil and a couple of others, derived from Coconut
Oil, the Motul 15w-50 has an additive to give it reasonably change interval, but if racing etc its obviously a good idea to change it more often, maybe max 2000 miles of mixed use road race use, or if it gets dirty. This stuff aint cheap probably about USD$150 per change. Apparently Motul follows closely behind
Amsoil for
Zinc/Phospherous, and this can deplete after 1000 hot hard race miles, that is a lot of racing!
Another precaution but a hassle my engine is dry sump so I can prime off the electric drill with drive belt removed, will do that if it hasnt been going for a period.
