| No, not the wrong brand. Wrong word. The brake slows the car. You want to break-in the engine. Brad Penn just happens to make a break-in oil and they say run it 500 miles.

It's a large error to use heavy/thick oil (whatever brand) to break in the engine. You need an extra-light weight of oil for the purpose._________________ 一期一会

There are a number of "cam break-in" additives out there...
I have been using the stuff from Comp Cams lately.

The local mom and pop places calls this the "secret sauce"...It has moly in it so it's dark in color...I'm a bit put off by the other brand additive
that says "zinc" but is clear liquid the viscosity of honey...Last time I worked with some zinc it was grey in color not clear...

I bought a couple of cases of STP oil conditioner of some thing like that. It is a 30W with bunches of zinc. Quart sized, not the thick goo in the pints. They quit making it.
I always run an engine 20-30 minutes for cam break in then drain, new filter and refill.
10-30 Rotella diesel oil will have all the zinc you need. Don't get the synthetic blend. Not until the engine is broke in._________________ '72 Duster 198 stock cam, 3:23's Hookers

| OK, now I am really confused. So what some of you are saying is that the zinc and phosphrus thing is a bunch of marking to sell a more expensive oil and that I should just run normal 30w. THE other half is telling me to us a " on " break in oil. Here is the thing in I am using my existing cam, for not so loved Clifford, So I have all ready broke or ran in the cam and lifters I am mainly worried about setting the rings and reducing blow by. And also I know that I can not spell you dont need to point it out lol. THanks

When you reply, see that block in the bottom right hand corner that says "spellcheck"??? It will help to show that you have some intelligence and not a hill jack. Just sayin.

When I read this thread, I don't see what you seem to think you see. Perhaps you should read the thread more carefully._________________ 一期一会
