ok today is the day my rebulid is complete and i plan on starting the engine. after reading every post i could im still up in the air about what oil to use for the first few cycles. i planned on running cheap 10w-30 but am now leaning towards Rotella 15w-40 to clean everything out then after a few hundred miles switching back to 10w-30, any objections to that??? Also all my timing components are already assembled so whats the best and fastest way to prime the engine since i cannot spin the oil pump by hand at this point? i want this to go as smooth as possible with no setbacks. in closing i do take my car to the track a few times a month but dont beat it up while driving around town so i ask should i break it in like i plan on driving it at the track or just slowly break it in as i drive it around the street. this is my first rebuild so any info would be greatly appreciated.
