Kansas City has nobody carrying Brad Penn break in oil that I can find and $7400 into this engine and figure I should take the free advice of many here and use it. Where can I order it to be shipped to me?

I got a case of 20-50 shipped to me from a shop in Wisconsin but they don't carry the break in. I'll run the 20-50 once broke in but I'm picking up that a break in oil is really what I should go with for overkills sake.

Did you try contacting Brad Penn to check for a local distributor?

20W-50 is kind of thick (esp. if you happen to have a larger oil pump)...lots of talk about oil weights in the oil sticky thread.

FYI, I started with 20-50 on a fresh build and my oil PSI was way high. I dropped to 15-40 and still too high. I now run 10-30 and all is well. Just something to keep in mind.

Did. No response. Might get one soon but I'd like to get the engine fired. Thanks for leads.
