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? |
