Had £2,500 worth of rockers and cams changed at first service.....the issue of chroming is really a red hearing...metal should not be touching metal....either there is no oil there or the film is failing....if there was a real oil supply problem all of these engines would fail which they dont...therefore it comes down to the oil film....I use RS Castrol 10-60 car oil...we have a dry clutch and so do not need to use bike oil which has to contend with wet clutches...the film strength is considerably higher than bike oils and seems to have sorted this problem.....hope that this helps..
