There additives are everywhere, but i cant find the break in stuff or the regular 10w30 anywhere. Any big chains like pep boys carry it??

A lot of times, all you will find for break in oil is sae30. There is nothing wrong with straight 30 for break in. I would just order a case online where ever you find the best deal. If you want to deal local, try calling some speed shops and engine rebuilders.

I used the Lucas break in oil from Advanced Auto last time for break in and was just fine.

Isn't Vile doing the work for you, anyways.

Yes he is, all the parts are now in. Brand spanking new GM 350 arrived today safe and sound in its crate. I told him it feels like Christmas eve!!!

I'm good with the break in oil, i was just wondering where to get the zddp stuff thereafter...locally, without having to order. But i'll check advanced, we have plenty of those. Thanks,,

 One bottle at oil change with whatever oil you choose.
I use an oil with the oldest rating.

As strange as it may seem, the vibration appears to be leveling out a little. Of course you can feel it when reving the engine in park. But regular driving it feels a little smoother.

Not that this changes anything, just sayin.

What do you want to do with the old engine? Do you want it in the bed or do you want me to give it to the school and have one of the Instructors do a tear down for engine lab?

That was one of the questions i had for you. I'll let you know when i see you in the morning.

Okay sounds good.

Bad vibration update:
Well, actually there is no vibration anymore, thats because there is no engine anymore! In probably a few hours Vile has removed the cursed 305 and got everything cleaned up and ready for the new 350.  The 305 has been donated for training purposes.

Well, good luck with everything! You're in good hands! Making good progress already and you did an awesome thing by donating your old engine! What better way for kids to learn? Keep us informed on your progress!

Yes sir,  Vile usually surprises me every time he sends me a pic. Makes me nervous in a good way. Looking forward to the next pic. I just want to see it done and buttoned up smooth and tight. My faith is strong with him running the show! Amen

It's actually a really good feeling when you drive a vehicle with a brand new engine. Mine has about 12,000. Makes it feel like I'm driving a brand new truck, transmission has maybe 14,000 on it. There's a curtain, peace of mind that comes with knowing the chunk of steel puttering you around town isn't old and worn out.
