trickflow heads/cam going on what weight oil?

[ttocs]

I am getting my heads/cam put on this weekend and wanted to know what weight oil would be best for breaking them in? Should I change the oil sooner then normal and check for shaving/problems or just run it as normal? Never been this far into the motor before so forgive the newb questions. I went ahead and got the trickflow new-cam additive just to be safe, I want this stuff to last a long long time......

run what ford wants you to run in it...street drive it taking it threw the rpm range(dont go start the car up and take it to 6k right away)drive it for 100 miles then change the oil

I was curious as to what the proper break-in period I should consider... I have no issue doing that I will just put 100 miles on it the first day then.............. I normally do not drive crazy anyway.

get some real cheap oil cheapest you can get put it in run your car for like 5 min drain it then put in what you would normally use change filter too. then after 300 then your normal oil chnge. this is how i broke mine in but i redid my whole engine not just the top end.

I do as previously stated:

After you do the heads/cam, fill it with basic oil (I use Ford Motorcraft) I start the car and let the car idle for about 10 minutes. Drain it and replace the oil with fresh oil (whatever you prefer, I used Mobile 1 or Castrol Syntec). I usually wait to make sure the heads seal correctly and have a few heat cycles. Then...go tear it up. :icon_rr:
