The whole thing looks good, that just adds to it. I also like the coils without the goofy mounts.

Untimately no. The oil that TSP sent with the shortblock is Gibbs 15/50 which is awefull heavy for my tastes. I'll run it for first fire up and will preheat the oil to thin it down a bit. Then will most likely run the second batch of oil with BR10/40.

After 400-500 miles I plan to run a conventional Joe Gibbs oil 5/30 or 10/30 till it gets at least 3k miles. Then will go synthetic.

Unless I decide different. Still thinking about it. Thoughts?

I used the rotella to clean some stuff.

I'll change it after first heat cycle, then at 500m. I am gonna have to intentionally make it a point to drive it as I only put like 1000-1500 a year on it. I wanna get it broke in and ran at the track this year.
