Paul, contact the cash for clunkers folks. I hear they have a phenominal break in fluid that you can dump in!!
the sae-30 rotella t is the only rotella oil with the zinc and shit in it… 15w40 is no more. just foumd this out today.
Ive already fucked up one motor and cant afford to fuck up another.
I used a break in additive that came with my cams after I put the motor all back togehter…
Ive heard some people say a breakin in additive is necessary for a prolonged life and others say otherwise. I’d honestly use it, better safe than sorry
Anyways I revved my car to 3500rpms for a good 30-45 mins… Dropped the oil
put soem more reguluar napa 5w30 in drove about 400miles… drained and continued with amsoil
I put close to 10k on my car this year… And i do anything but drive easy, that car has been beaten on pretty bad, even more than I did last year when it was N/A and I really dident give a fuck
Now if onyl break in additives worked on the rear end mount :ponder
BTW af ew cam insturctions I see all say to rev at 1.5-2k for 30 mins… but at least on a lifter setup… The break in is better at a higher RPM as it helps wear in the tops of the lobes better
I broke my motor in my beating the balls off it starting at 250 miles on the dot
30k and cammed later, its running strong.
Didn’t you say it uses a lot of oil:retardclap
ALL ls1’s burn oil. Its the nature of the motor’s because of the PCV valve setup…thats why alot of people convert to the LS6 PCV setup because it burns alot less oil.
LS2 burns 0 oil.
yeah straight 30 rotella t is the only one with that shit in it…thats what i was saying
you just told him not to use anything but shit oil, now your saying u used break in additive? and you revved that poor thing for 40 minutes at 3500???
not quite the same, but my 2004 truck with the 5.3 doesnt burn an ounce of oil with almost 90kmi
Sorry I dident clarify… Im saying ive heard some say u dont need it…
I’d personaly use it, dident know you could use rotella thou, deff going to use that next time I ahve to break soemthing in thou
well I let it get to temp and run at 2 grand for about 15 mins or so then the remaining time about 25 mins or so was run at 3500
gotcha…damn talk about breaking her in hard lol. you may have gone a bit over kill on the time frames there but you had the general idea i would think.
I picked up some 30 weight Rotella today
Well the longer break in was more for the cams… if it was all back to stock I woulda just ran her at 2 grand for 20 mins or so and went on my way
but people have had reground cams (the only offer regrinds) have the top of the lobes chip a bit… Wanted to break in the tops of em a little more and make sure they dident chip before i started driving the car hard
wait until 160k like my moms…it burns a quart in about a month and a half. Doesnt smoke at all tho and still has balls.
Are we gonna see some pics of this thing soon?
PJB does not own camera :lol
I wanna see some pics of this thing damn it!
When he gets it done Ill snap some pics of it if he wants.
