Wow, that is pretty tight, maybe a good 5-20 with the ZDDP additive??
Joe this is my thoughts as well. did you check the lifters for rotation before you installed the intake ? as the saying goes : "no one will know if your bearing clearances are a touch too loose, but everyone will know if they are too tight."

[php][/php] That's pretty tight. I'd use a 10W-30, pre-oil it before startup. Fill the carb bowls & set timing so it fires quickly. Driven, Lucas, and others have break-in oils, haven't had problems with any of them. Buy a quality 5/30,10/30 or 30 break in oil. Do it right the first time. Joe Gibbs driven, Brad pen, Lucas oil. Your clearances are too tight for the age old 20/50. Forget the ZDDP additives, how do you know that crap will mix in & work with whatever oil you are using? You don’t. Current shelf oil has too much detergent and it fights with your expensive ZDDP so it won’t function like the bottle says it will.

I would use, and do use it, Valvoline 5w20WT petroleum based, not synthetic with a zinc additive for the cam and lifters to make the initial start up and make sure it starts right away and run it at or above 1500 RPM for 20 to 30 minutes without idling I do prime all of my motors before starting them and rotate them over with the spark plugs out while priming the motor for 4 to 10 revolutions before trying to start it and then run them for the break in run IHTHs

I used 6 quarts of the Comp Cams breakin oil. Most expensive oil I've used to date, and it was only in it for a few hours at most

[qCan't find betteruote=fury4speed]BradPenn Penn Grade Break in Oil , look no further , Summit Racing free shipping or ebay usually has free shipping , try it works good [/quote]
Can't do better,and a little history.
The PennGrade refinery in Bradford, Pa., (formerly known as Brad Penn) the oldest continuously operating lube oil refinery in the United States, still refines 100% Pennsylvania grade crude, one of the best sources of high quality lubricant base stocks in the world.
PennGrade 1 is cut from Pennsylvania grade crude oil from the Bradford Oil Field in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where it was first extracted in 1859. The oil has a unique green color and clings like no other oil to your highly stressed engine parts. Its enhanced levels of zinc and phosphorous (ZDDP) protect vital engine components, and it has been the first choice of engine builders and equipment manufacturers for decades.
