What oil is best for engine break in????

[JoeG]

Sounds good Sam............Thanks

I will use the Gibbs or Brad Penn oils. I also have been heavily using the VR1 Valvoline Race oil. It has all the additives needed and has never let me down. I also use a bottle of the Comp Cams break in lube. If it is an agressive profile with a lot of spring I will recommend using a bottle with every oil change.

VR1 racing is real good too!

Something else to consider when breaking in cams is to use either just the outter springs [or set of break in springs] and/or a set of break in rockers...

I have a question, i have 2 cases of STP racing oil in the paper cans, probably from the late 70's would this oil still be good if it is in a sealed can, for say like a 70 spec LS-6 with factory Mech cam? for break in purposes, i believe it is 50 Wt.

Those composite cans,although known to weap over time,still are dependable if stored within reasonable conditions.The oil should be OK.

Want to sell a case I could use it for a display

Thanks for the replies on the oil, as far as selling a case,i was thinking about it but would really like to use the oil, did you want them with the oil or with out,if you are going to use them for display i guess you could go either way.Please let me know what you think, Beater68427.
