Default Re: Motor oil info

I agree Larry....
And it should be NOTED that breaking the engine with the outer springs or break in springs would be the SAFEST way to go when breaking in a flat tappet engine ,BUT not to cause a PANIC if you don't turn the valves down for a tight adjustment and really butter up the cam and lifters with the proper break in lube in race oil not synthetic oil and let it run according to each cam or lifter manufacturers recommendations--usually 2krpms for the recommended length of time usually 30min---Also leave the break-in lube in the engine for at least a few 2k miles keeping the engine under a light or moderate load --your engine should be fine------------Lot of guys wipe the cam lopes by adjusting VALVES down too tight on break in............
