Then for under load driving on a new engine I'll drain the old cheap stuff and use Amsoil. Tight clearances 5w30, loose 15w-40. IF yours is a Pontiac 400 then straight 50 weight When it takes more than a sweet mullet to prove you rule at the trailer park..

I have some killer degreaser/floor cleaner soap thats called purple power. I don't think that would make a very good break in oil, but it will wash away all your assembly lube in short order! I wouldn't use the purple stuff, I believe it's all synthetic oil, and was not aware that the purple stuff came in a conventional oil? I did run the purple synthetic in my flat tappet big block after break in on the engine dyno and 1000 street miles, never had a problem. Photobucket sucks

My previous cam, Rotella T with a bottle of the comp cams additive. These were medium to large hyrdaulic flat tappet cams with Edelbrock heads and springs.

After a cam break-in, I change the oil/filter and check for contanements.. So I just don't see the point of using and expensive oil for a no-load cam break-in that I'm gonna change right after. When it takes more than a sweet mullet to prove you rule at the trailer park..

So far, so good.
