Surely you do no harm in putting in the wrong brand of oil (synthetic
vr.
non-synt., although the weight is correct) and running it for only 500
miles... right or wrong?

Paul, I'm a little confused. Is this engine broken in, or is this
essentially the first time it's run since the rebuild or it's otherwise
got only a bit of running time since the rebuild? Most folks suggest
that synthetic might well be too slippery to allow bedding in of
critical parts, so it should not be used until that bedding in occurs,
in probably a minimum of 500-1000 miles.
I'd dump the snake oil regardless. ;-)

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
