I don't want to go leaner than 12:1 (because I don't like the idea of throwing excess fuel at knock), especially in an 8.8:1 static compression motor.

Can anyone recommend a "high phosphorus" oil to use for break-in?"

Thanks



I would not worry about fuel in the oil, you will get it hot enough to burn any dilution up.

For break in oil, i have allways heard to use a dino oil.

I have never tried it, but If I was trying to break in a new motor, I would use pennzoil Yellow bottle dino oil, with Redlines "Engine Break-in Additive"

If your gonna use redline, lets use it from the start!


This little thing motor is gonna be MEAN!

That polyol ester base stock is hard as nails , if a jet turbine won't break it down an IC engine won't !! DOn't worry about fuel contamination , I run those AFR's without a prob. I do run a separate breather can vented to atmosphere thru a filter. To put your mind at rest , do an oil analysis to double check for fuel contamination.
