Looks really good. The viscosity hardly changed in over 6000 miles.

Did you install any new bearings when you did the gear driven cams? You've got a lot of copper, which is why I ask...

Yes new bearings were installed with the gear driven cams

So how long you been running the amsoil? And I'm really curious how your factory cams looked at 40000 miles?

Amsoil makes some very good products - that oil is one of them and I wish they would support its use in my car. The only oil Amsoil offers me, AFL, is very weak, and not doing well.

The copper must be gasket or do you think its the new bearings.
A friend once had a 5.7 litre motorcycle, but it was for show he could not handle it.

They had to lower some of the specs in order to meet others. It's a tradeoff unfortunately. At one time AFL was a very robust oil. It's still good, but more along the lines of the M1 0w-40 which has to meet a lot of specific specs.

PM me what kind of car you have, etc...(you may have told me before, but my brain doesn't do web handles all that great)

To answer Mudd,

Amsoil went into the bike at the 1k check-up at the dealer. Where the roller rode on the cam looks polished - other than that they are in like new condition. The whole assembly is like new - chain, drive gears, bearings.

Because the other wear metals are so low I believe the copper levels were do to the new bearings (bushing).
