I know there is a lot of info about this out there and I have done my fair share of reading so I mostly understand what I need. Sense many people on here have rebuilt motors from the bottom up and have good experience with such, I just wanted to know what type oil you ended up running for the first start up and break in periods. So far I have looked at some break in oils (which just seems to be sae 30 with zinc additives) and I also know not to run a synthetic based oil as it prevents the rings from seating properly. What has been used successfully on others builds?
