Well, tomorrows the day. After nearly 11 years in the works I'm planning to fire off the project in the morning. I have a couple of questions concerning "pre-lubing"-
This is my 4th engine build/start but the first time I've concidered turning the rotating assembly by hand while turning the oil pump with the priming rod. Do you think this is a worth while procedure?
Also, I'm using Valvoline VR1 oil for the start-up as it has the added ZDDP(zinc). It was suggested that I add in an additive, specifically a GM product called "EOS". The bottle calls is an engine assembly lube but I was told it is similar to the break-in additive that CompCams sells. Has anyone used this before? Is it recommended?
