Oil ?

[Germy]

Trying to break in a fresh rebuilt 360, during install I broke dipstick tube. I wanted to break in tomorrow. Will 6 quarts be enough for filter and galleys?

sounds right. Be SURE to run a break in additive.

I've heard two stories. One is comp cams video using zinc and staying between 2-2500 rpm for 30 mins all after priming of course. Second is from autozone you don't need additive because the assembly lube from the cam has zinc. No need to prime. Just crank with dizzy disconnected for a while, get it started, tune it and change the oil right away.

Good choice. Keep an eye on the temp. & oil presure gauge.

Oil pressure was non existent previously, not sure if it was the adapter for the sender being clogged or a bad gauge. Now everything is new, so I will hopefully have working pressure! I'm just worried about leaks honestly.

Yeah dog, was going to have the big fan ready, ambient temps should help too. Stop on down for a beer and engine break in!
