Which is the preferred choice for a first 30 minute start on a completely new rebuilt engine with a Raby cam and lifters? Penn or Gibbs break in oil. Mineral oil or synthetic?
Bradd Penn, SAE 30W Grade1 Pen-7120 . Joe Gibbs, 5-30 BR30. or BR10-40. http://penngrade1.com/Products/High-Perfor...eak-In-Oil.aspx http://www.drivenracingoil.com/dro/br30-br...-oil-15781html/ |

Wow, now I'm thoroughly confused.
I have BP 30w break in oil that I was going to start with. Is all the "no pushrod" stuff really necessary? I'm here to learn, so tell me what I need to know before I start up my 2056 for the first time? |

I'm here to learn, so tell me what I need to know before I start up my 2056 for the first time? You dont have to remove the pushrods. But I had to crank my engine for a good 10 minutes (in short bursts) to get the oil system to prime the very first time, so it is your call if you want much lube left on the cam & lifter when it first fires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have also heard of filling the oil pump with grease during assembly to prime the system faster but havent tried it. If the system were to prime immediately then it wouldnt be an issue. |
