[QUOTE="Magnum PD, post: 1257495, member: 420"] 1-I didn't get SAE 30 2-I didn't call the local news about my tools. They saw the police report, then they called me and WANTED to do the report. 3-No I'm not the smartest guy on here, I'll admit that. I'm not a professional engine rebuilder. I asked as many people that I could about breaking in the engine. Had another thread about it. One guy says just drive it, the next guy says drive the dog sh!t out off it. I don't have an engine dyno to do different loads, rpm's, wait times and such. My thinking of using lighter weight oil was to let the rings have more friction to set themselves instead of using a higher grade oil that would take longer for them to set. I got a family that comes first when it comes to money. I do extra stuff on the side to make money. It took me about 5 years to get everything that I wanted in the engine. Did as much as I could by myself. Left the professional work to them. Took engine out by myself and one helper putting back in. Made turbo mount, fab intercooler pipes myself except for TIG welding turbo flange. I take pride in popping the hood and saying "That's my work" Pity party over [/QUOTE]
