Coast to Coast
I'm starting my new motor soon. Its full of assembly lube in more places that your wife has orifices, ha!
I know there are random shavings in the so I'm actually going to flush it first with some random 10w30 I have kicking around, Then change the oil early than usual in engine braking terms. My motor is a hybrid xv920/980 now 1000cc, with all new mechanical parts in the upper end and a custom clutch I made in the side. Steel cylinders, custom hi-tensile forged pistons, new titanium this, new aluminum that.
Its summer now so I'm thinking a 20w50 non synthetic and minus friction modifiers, something like rotella. Some may argue semi-synthetic for break in which I'm good to hear the arguments cause I'm not sold on the conventional oil but it is winning. Let me know your thoughts "if you have experience with things" because I think I have the most expensive virago engine in the world..lol. ;D I'm laughing but more crying laughing because its sadly true.
