Engine Application
These break-in instructions apply to custom racing engines built by Van Dyne Engineering for BE Bearings. These engines are each hand crafted, blueprinted, and hand assembled.
Recommended Break In Oil
Break-in oils are specific purpose oils design for engine break in. They should not be run for extended periods of time or for normal engine operation.
Fill with 20W50 non-synthetic oil for break in. Do NOT use a synthetic oil. Find a mineral oil that is 20W50, no detergent (if possible), and high zinc. At least 1200 parts-per-million on zinc. Since you are filling the new oil cooler and oil filter, make sure to have at least two extra quarts of capacity available.
Van Dyne Engineering recommends these two engine break-in oils:
