0 miles motor what oil do I run?
Okay well the car is movable now and I have done a few heat cycles the motor.
Time for the very first oil change. I've done so much reading on different reasons to run different oils I'm completely lost and I'm not sure what to run for this motor.
So most of my tolerances are .002 I have one .0015 these are my main bearings. ... all of my rod bearings were .002 ... I have no idea what oil viscosity. I'll be changing the oil every 2000 - 2500 miles ... it's not intended to be a daily driver but when it is driven it's driven quite hard ... yes it will have nitrous ... what are your guy's opinions?
