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?

For the initial 25-30 minute break-in run, I would first recommend just letting the motor be either warmed first by being in a heated garage OR by putting a space heater near it for an hour or so. This is just so the oil isn't like engine honey. At 2500-3K RPMs it'll heat-up very quickly anyway.
