Default Re: Rebuilt engine

Was the engine run on a test stand after the rebuild? If not sure, I would worry about the cam lube having run off. In any case, I would do the initial oil priming and test run with Valvoline 20w50 racing oil, to get a good level of zinc on the cam and lifters. The other thing is to get it on the road and under a moderate load as soon as possible to improve the chances of the rings seating properly.
