I have seen specific break-in oil for rebuilt engines, if you don't use that then I'd say use Dino. After it's broke in switch to synthetic.
I go anywhere from 12k to 15k miles on my DD before an oil change. The color of the oil has little effect on the condition, the consistency is what counts.
As far as the magnet I've seen mixed opinions on it. I would think it would help on a new engine being broke in, but if the engine is already broke in and you have metal in your oil, the damage is already done.

 

That is the pupose of the oil filter, putting magnets in the filter could obstruct flow and lower oil pressure. For break in you use the cheapest oil you can get and vary speed and load to seat the rings. If you are using a new cam/rockers, then a 20-30 min run at 1500 rpms is recomended (then you flush the oil).

 

The magnets go on the outside of the filter, not the inside.

 

Best oil for Toyota R engines = Brad Penn I run it in every gasoline engine i own

 

well that makes a lot more sense

 

Or you can get a magnetic oil plug bolt

 

Can you run a spiral adapter plate with propane? It is for a weber and you use the stock carb base with the propane kit but I think they have the same bolt spacing ?? Would it help performance?

 

I like to use marvel mistery oil, 1 qt and then a good dino oil like castrol to break in a motor.

 

You should use a good dino oil for break-in.

Avoid friction modifiers... too slick and you run the risk of not seating your rings properly, which is like 80% of the break-in process.

 

Should be able to drop the engine in tomorrow! My propane kit should also be here! So excited! I have been taking my time to do this one right!

 

Some more pics of it!

 

Merry Christmas!!!!

 

Omg.... Hahahahaha everyone makes fun of me for that.... I was hoping no one her would bring that up!!! Hahaha today I have had 2 people say that

 

How about Viva la Mexico??

 

Hahaha I really screwed this one up! So much for the bad ass engine.... Should of gone with a different color other then that green!

 

Hey man, it's your thing, do it. I have actually seen a lot worse

 

Hey, I like it. Mostly. I used the same (or close) green on my block and pan. I only have red spark plug wires and that's borderline too christmas for me. If you like it then it's bad a$$. Haters gonna hate.

 

Besides, Kawa you should love it. It's pretty close to Kawasaki green! That's part of the reason I used it, always had a soft spot for kawa green.

 

Do love me some Kawasaki green, but only my race bikes were green. My street bikes were always black.

 

Hahaha no I didn't care what colors I was gonna use.... Just wanted light colors to give away oil leaks and re green I ordered was lime green..... But not so much in reality
