I recall reading an interview with Tony Crook published somewhere and in this, he mentioned that although the Chrysler people had expectations of an engine life of around 100,000 miles, Bristol were expecting far more than this and enlarged oilways and among other things, a slightly warmer cam was added. The article said that the V8s were Bristolised for whatever that entails. What I don't know is if this was also applied to the 318 engines.
