Does the conventional oil Valvoline VR-1 fall into the category of a race oil? Currently, using 40w and change every 20 hours. Thanks.

I don't think your lifter failure was due to oil, either a bad lifter or weak valve spring causing it to bound on the cam,

What are the test results on this brand :

That is what I've been using upon recommendation from the guy who built my engines. I change the oil every 25 hours.

Thanks in advance,

Not an exact application but my brother and I both at the time had the same model Harley's - both Fat Boys and 80ci. I ran synthetic and he ran conventional oil. The oil temperature gauge in my bike was almost 20 degrees cooler than his during a road trip he and I took together.
