@Derek UK
I don't have pictures of the wear I've seen (well I'm fiarly sure I don't - I will check) I have seen the following wear => Much like the shadows you can see on a worn cylinder bore I've seen patches on rocker arm polished surfaces where the softer core metal is showing through. I've found this on abused engines that probably haven't had frequent oil changes. The polished surfaces (where there has been contact) tend to be dull and scratched when oil changes have not been done for ages #### I've also seen more prominent wear through hardened surfaces where there has probably been rust problems. I can't remember which forum it was - but recently I remember a thread with a "can I use a rusty camshaft" question. I didn't respond. The problem with rust is that it is as soft as **** and so from a spot of rust you can get a chipping-like wearing propagation of wear across the hardened surface. Rust ain't great.

In the argument about American or British terminology, I was going to suggest that Swedish might be a good compromise.
I just looked up Swedish for "bonnet". There are two words, but I can't work out which one is for the car and which one refers to a cute hat worn by a character in a nursery rhyme. |

The clue is there is nothing in the Swedish language (so i'm told by a Swedish friend) to describe "Day Running Lights". There are many other things that don't have a translation too.

That's "Daylight" according to Goggle Translate. Doesn't cover Daytime Running Lights which are called "Guiding Lights" or "Vägledande lampor".

Side lights are obligatory lights on all cars and must work unless the DRLs remain lit with the lights on. Construction and Use regs - somewhere!
