do as john said. and rev the thing when you drive it, dont baby it around. you need to build cylinder pressure to seat the rings correctly. without having higher cylinder pressure the rings will wear in and not have as good a seal as they would if you put a little nut behind it. ---

everybody’s got an opinion. i kinda agree with shady on this one honestly. then again I have never had a fresh built motor or had to break one in, but this is what my buddy did with his 331 build…and that thing is still getting its neck wrung daily 30k miles later…put down 420whp too. ---

Just like john and brett said, run the rotella dude it has what break in additive adds to reg oil in it. fill it up, run it do w.e your cam card says to do for cam break in. (what i told you on the other thread is what mine said). Take it out and give it a good driving, dont kick the shit out of it but dont baby it. Just drive it like your in a hurry to work. Take it back to the garage drain the oil and put new shit in. Your good to go. I promise. I know after all of our advice your going to be stuck doing what matt says anyways cuz thats how that moron rolls, but trust us, next time, do it this way. ---

I agree with you on that, everyones got an opinion and most everybody’s way works most of the time. But this kid has had his nuts in a vice with this car too many times, he may have a chance to be happy with it and to do that he really should break it in the right way. THe run shit oil method works but it doesnt help with hardening any of the internals during their first heat cylces and a few other things that the zinc and other materials in rotella/break in additive does. ---

Rotella’s cheap as hell anyways, no reason not to use it as a break in oil. I wasn’t disagreeing on the Rotella aspect, in fact I wasn’t disagreeing with you at all, just saying that the first oil you put in the motor should be drained asap anyways after running it so I don’t think it really matters what you use…or that there’s no reason to use high dollar oil for your break in…yeah that. ---
