I talked to a guy at Elgin Cams today - he said they recommend straight 30
weight oil to break in a new engine.

I'm breaking in a new 1275 on my street Bugeye right now, and I'm going to be
breaking in a new race 948 soon.

I've been using Castrol 20w50. Shoud I be using a different oil for break-in?

Thanks

Bud Pazur
