Hi Sandy
I think the wear was in the valve gear. The reason he was so adamant was that the oil was the only thing that was changed.The Supercar motors are stripped regularly and when confronted with the evidence the Castrol hotshots (who were out from America at the time) were scratching their heads and could not come up with an answer. I had the expensive synthetic in my car but pulled it straight out based on this. I tend to take the word of this guy who has no vested interest and is a very competent Ford engine man.I think the wear ruined parts after about 4000 km distance, sorry you'll have to convert to miles, but suffice to say it wasn't a lot. W'eve drifted off topic so a new oil one could be good.
