I am getting my rebuilt 2.0 motor back for my 74 LE resto. What is the best way to break in the motor from the time I put oil in the first time. Also what oil do you recommend for the initial break in. I plan to use Brad Penn 20w50 after. I know they make a break in oil at like 30 weight. Just curious what you guys recommend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Also would it be better to start out with Carbs. I don't know the condition of my FI. I will be replacing all the lines & cleaning my Fuel injectors. Just seems like I could troubleshoot the carbs initially a little easier. Again what do you guys prefer? |

A simple pressure primer made out of 3.0 inch pvc with a screwin cleanout and a quickdisconnect and a pressure regulator hooked up to a oil gallery port is the best primer I know of. I do also run it through a flat cleanable mesh type oil filter thats mounted on the bottom inline with the oil line to the motor. Jeff Smith in this months Car Craft shows a homade primer for motors that don't have a distributor but it's way more complicated than a air powered 2 or 3 qt pvc primer. I just put in about 2 qts and slowly turn the motor through about 4 revolutions while the primer is set on about 30 psi. Then top off the motor to the full mark on the dipstick.
I actually got the idea from a picture on Jake Rabys site. Lucas has a good breakin additive. |
