jwd Jim I have had motors sit built for 6 months and unless they had perlube on the surfaces, the top 3/4 of the bearings are dry. You are also running a windsor motor which has about 15 pounds less weight than a FE motor assembly. FE rods use the same size bearing as you and weight 200 - 400 more grams than your rods. Synthesis oil does the same thing about NOT clinging to parts in a motor. This is why a synthesis motor makes more power. The more polished the surface the easier it is for the oil to shed off the part. Thats the idea with getting the oil back to the oil pan. Maybe in WA conditions are different, but in Jersey the oil always goes to the pan and bottom of the bearings. I think it is called gravity, I could be wrong and don't work at NASA. I did stay at a Holiday Inn last year. I do have 30 years of wrenching, building and racing. I also use clinging oils in my motors. another fun subject, for another time.     Have a good day.
