Jay,
In regard to break-in oil, Fred Seibert, from Tiger Auto, mentioned to
me that he read an article in an automotive trade magazine warning
jobbers not to use the Castrol GTX motor oil for break-in oil.
Apparently, the oil is too slippery and (if I remember correctly)
recommend using any cheap oil in the engine for no more than 500 miles.
I guess the rings have a very hard time trying to seat.
Jan
