T4 Break-In Procedure and Oil, It's almost time! Options

[RoadGlue]

I finished up my 2056 long block last night and will be installing/breaking it in during the next few days. The ongoing progress thread is over at RoadGlue.com at http://www.roadglue.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209

Everything is new or rebuilt and here's the break-in procedure as I've been told by others:

- Prime oil filter, add oil to motor
- Start motor, don't keep turning over if it doesn't fire right away
- Oil pressure idiot light and/or gauge should indicate oil pressure after a few seconds
- Keep motor around 1500 - 2000 RPM while you roughly set timing and idle
- At 10 - 15 minutes, stop, dump oil. Change filter and oil
- At this time you may also want to check valve clearances again
- Go drive for a few hundred miles, keep under load, drive hard but not abusively so. Don't lug, don't over-rev, don't stay at any one RPM for more than a few seconds
- At 200 miles, check valve clearances, dump oil, change filter

So, something like that, right? What type of oil should I use initially? I know back in '99 when I last did this, we used a non-detergent oil during the break-in.

I have oil pressure, oil temp and cylinder head temp gauges, so I'll be watching everything closely.

Wish me luck!
