As the title says- is it ok to break in an engine in cold weather? I am getting close to having my rebuild ready for break-in. It is about 30 degrees outside. If ok, what weight break in oil should I use?

I would bet that 60% of all Porsches have been broken in during winter weather conditions. Seriously, consider the source.
If you're talking about the first start, I would try to warm up the oil. Otherwise, just drive the car. Once it's running and warmed up, the engine doesn't know it's winter. |
