Hello, I have just about finished my Audi build, which is a stroked 20v 4 cyl. "AEB" motor sitting at 2008ccs
The motor is FULLY built and fully forged, valvetrain is built to the hilt, running a gt3076r turbo and direct port nitrous...
It's just about time to fire it up, but I am in the process of installing am AEM standalone EMS (not a PnP either, but the universal "race' box, CDI ignition and direct fire pencil coils)
HTere's no way to just startup and run it in on this EMS, as It is going to require a lot of tuning and work just to make it work!
So, I am likely going to need to reinstall all the stock sensors/systems and try to get this to work on the stock ECU, as I am wanting to break in the "fast and hard" method so as to seat my rings properly and avoid the chance of glazing my walls.
I had planned on using Valvoline straight 30 for break in, although I have used assembly lube and soaked my lifters in straight lucas during assembly.
What should I use for break in oil?
(this motor, by the way, is a bit on the loose side! also, I am already at 83mm bore. -2mm over! if I were to glaze my walls, I would have nowhere to go but to a new block...)
Any recommendations or suggestions are greatly welcomed!
I've used sae 30 valvoline for more than a few previous motors, and always use the "fast and hard" method for my builds. But I came here to ask for suggestions and to listen, so with that said, I'll sit back & stop typing now...
thanks,
-Kyle
