I used that shell oil you get in the red container...the one you see at servo's all the time - for my run in. ~$40bucks for 10L, you can't really go wrong.

Diesel oil would be fine, but the extra detergents wouldn't really be doing anything as the engine should already be sqeaky clean!!!!

Keen to see the results for this (re)build!

Few things to do my ass.

Lol. I was at unigroup and saw what you brought there!!!!

PS: your front cam cover looks great!! :D

Haha. a lot of the things on the list is small stuff. I had to list them otherwise Tyson would forget!!

Yeah it turned out well. Very happy with it :D

Where is yours upto?

Penrite HPR30. It's loaded with the most zinc of any oil on the market, making it perfect for run-in of camshafts/bottom end etc.

That's what I've just put in mine!

Penrite HPR30

zinc - 0.11%

I just put this in ....Why wouldn't you use this ?

Penrite Running In Oil 15/40

zinc - 0.161%

I think that is what I ran, pen rite run in oil. Your engine builder should guide you on what oil to use for run in

Look at a radiator filter while your getting it ready, after my rebuild it caught a fair bit or sealants and other crap, even after the chemical clean it still collects bits of crud that would have other wise gone through the water pump and maybe got stuck in the radiator.

Disclaimer: The RB30 that went into my boat was probably 30 yrs old and no matter how much cleaning you get done it will not remove all the old broken down rusty crap that has had that time to build up inside its cooling system, which it seems, is quite alot.

P.S. Numbers Farkern

Here is something interesting

Here I was stressing about valve to piston clearence with the 1.5mm OS valves. Now with a 0.9 mm head gasket (smallest I could find), squish of 29 thou and cams with over 10.8 mm of lift the clearence on the intake was 2.2 mm and OVER 3 mm on the exhaust. I could have not relieved them :( So much for Tomei's "Over 10.8 mm relieve the pistons" GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hi Piggaz,

just curious what your cam centerlines, lift and duration were set at for this

OK. I was out there today, all coming along. New oil cooler core and lines were going in. I changed the core because the old one would have been full of N1 oil pump gears!

I suspect startup and run in is Monday/Tuesday. I have some pics that I took today so i'll throw them up soon.

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
