    I most likely over did it......but I ran junk conventional oil first....and then dumped it after about 40mi

    and then switched to the RP....

    I wanted to get all machining crap out of the engine


    With a crate engine everything is gonna be surgically clean....

    any rebuilder....not so much

    Took some time, but I eventually got all fluids on the truck converted to what ever valvoline synthetic...

    except for the brake fluid....thats prestone max synthetic

    so I actually have some valvoline 10-30 conventional that I was going to use then I got talked into getting royal purple so I might use that valvoline for first start up and then dump it and throw in the royal purple for my 500 miles.

    Dirt, miles, and wear.
    I think you might as well use the break-in oil for break-in and use the Valvoline for a regular interval.

    A little closer every day. I only get like an hour and a half everyday to work on it. Sometimes not even everyday if I’m not off in time to make it to my cousins shop before they leave.

    Know the feeling, been there, done that...
    Ive had all sorts of do-overs in the span of my career...
    Have had many engine remanufactured by who-ever ford decided to have their engines rebuilt by & have had a few handfuls that dont make it out of the stall before getting yanked out again, or come-in a week later with catastrophic crank bearing failure due to they f'd up & theyre bearing / machining calculations were off...
    I hate doing stuff twice...:crapstorm:

    right on. It’s just half the price and I’m already over budget but I think it’ll be fine too.
