I'm getting ready to start this motor for the first time and break it in, but had a couple questions. For background this motor has a medium lift cam and 60# valve springs (150# nose pressure).

Was planning on using SAE30 Brad Penn. Will this work?

To start, I was thinking of just cranking with injector lines cracked until good oil pressure.

Once started run at 2k rpm for 20 min?

After that let cool and retourque studs?

Thanks
