The original 911's managed without multigrade oils - as long as engine oil temps are below 210 or 220, I see no problems running SAE30 forever. But, no matter - everyone does it different, and I bet the results are not all that divergent.
Per John's suggestion, I mixed up some assembly lube with fresh motor oil, and I got instant gold-tinged glitter, a bit coarser than what's in my oil, but quite glittery. Doesn't show up as well in the video, but it is quite sparkly in person.
About 1/2 the valves were off by 0.1mm or so (1/8 turn), the rest were still spot-on.
So I think there may be hope!
