Message	Guys, I have a new block with a fully forged bottom end (Wiseco, Eagle, ACL Bearings) and the top end had new valves but the rest of the valve train was refurbished (Cams were in spec and lifters were rebuilt). Does this mean I don't require a high Zinc break-in oil? Or does it still make sense to use one? Also has anyone noticed a break-in process that works better for a setup like mine? I want to make sure everything is done right and I have a healthy motor for years to come. Thanks!
