If it is a fresh rebuild you should check the valve clearances again, it is not that much of a PITA and could potentially save you a world of hurt.

I like regular oil in air cooled cars, but am sort of wasteful and will do changes q2000-2500. I figure it is doing more than just lubricating so it gets burned up carrying away heat. I don't drive it enough and am doing it by time over mileage. (Just paid some bills, so that is changing soon)

Synthetics don't burn up as fast, more refined, if you think about how they make it. Like the difference between a drum and disc brake, fully machined vs hunk of steel, so to speak.
