regular guy- going to see if I can either get my crank fix (unlikely) or buy a used one out of a low mile stroker build. have it machined for proper clearances. then reseal the whole motor new rings possibly pistons depending on what they look like. and may have the heads rebuilt not sure. then probably breaking In new rings with rotella or equivalent. then turning to mobil race oil 0-50 and catless. and the lots of oil samples to blackstone. trying to get it done by the end of this month so I can break it in and get some miles on it then drop the pan over the winter and check the new bearings for wear.
my buddy suggested using a oil heater or block heater basically anybody know if those are worth it. sounds like it would work 9 quarts is a lot of oil to heat up so I don't know if it would be worth it.
