I'm not a builder, but I'd say break it in w/ conventional oil, then later, if u want, run synthetic. Good luck.

what does the builder recommend? btw congrats on the new setup, hope to see it at the track sometime.

We ran some cheap oil through to flush it out. Only a couple of good warm ups really and my builder told me to use a good quality 10W30. It is a lot colder here than California so I am using Castrol GTX 5W30.

First,as said you ask the builder. We personally run Valvoline 10w/40 to break in the motor. We run it for about 15 minutes,change it,then run it again for about 1k miles. That is for a street motor.

What Slowhawk said, only to add, I prefer a conventional non-detergent oil in a weight based on the bearing clearences for the initial startup and ring seating. Afterwards use whatever type you want based on the bearing clearences.

also if you are going to switch to synthetic oil id run it on conventional oil a while until the rings get seated in

I'd go with the builder then. I'd run regular oil for a few miles then switch to the oil you intend to run all the time if it were mine. I'm no engine builder though.
