Yes sythetics are good on a comercial taking 30 ltrs and changed at 250,000km

Certainly I understand the position indicated here, also feel that the HGV economic model is effectively an advocate here. But with a smaller scale.

The prospect of losing camshaft and followers with the very restricted supply,  plus cost and the work to rebuild swings that I believe into the same realm, especially when the engine has just been rebuilt with those components sourced currently.  I'd view it as any margin you can usefully gain in reliability is worth a significant amount.
