I have been assembling my 2056 with Brad Penn break in oil on all the parts as I go.
When it is complete and I go to fill the crank case with oil do I run all break in oil or is that just used on assembly? Is the synthetic snake oil from Raby/gibbs the preferable way to go now? If so does the prelube from assembly with Brad Penn hurt anything? |

Use the break in oil for when you fire it up and probably the first 500 miles (or whatever they suggest) then switch to your fill of choice. |

From my experience Brad Penn Break-In oil turns to practically water after you break in the cam. I'd dump it immediately after the 20 minute break in and run Brad Penn 20w-50 Racing Oil after that.

I'm with Aaron. 20 minutes and the break in oil is gone.
I use oil on the rings and pistons only. Clevite red assy lube on everything else. |
