Before you start your swapped engine, i'm sure most (if not all) think to drain the old oil and put new in....here's a suggestion:

refill with *WARM* new oil so that it can FLOW to oil deprived parts that much better!

if you've got a nice, warm day; set the new oil outside in the sun for awhile. If its cold out, and your driving with your heater on, put the new oil next to your heater vents. You could even put it in a pot on the stove and *slowly* heat it....

i for one let my pro sit at one point for ~5 months without starting it. when i went to start it, i drained the old and put new in.... it was horrible listening to all the 'noise' that the engine made for literally MINUTES

only sometime later did i think of the idea to heat the oil before you put it in to make the wear and tear less. i've done it a few times on my B-series truck and it really seemed to help!

 

Very tastey info..

 

never thought of that.......

 

haha i knew it was sort of a funny post...but hey an engine really does like the 'taste' of warm....actually more like *hot* oil...better

just trying to help preserve the imported GTX's, GTR's, KL-ZE's and even the junkyard engine swaps

 

Yes, I agree. hey i noticed you have falkens, how are they those are the same tires i wanted for my EGT, they grip well ?

 

Definitely, i like em lots. The autocrosser's on the forum have said plenty of good stuff about the Azeni's

 

On an imported engine, I would recommend getting some cheap oil for the first time and just start it up and let it idle with if for a while, maybe take it around the block, then throw in some engine flush, drain it, then fill with whatever you like (I'm a fan of Mobil 1).

 

Why does it have to be "cheap" oil ?

 

Ya, Jason is a fart smeller...errrr, smart feller

another option is to use a thinner grade oil so it flows faster as well, then drain that and put in the correct grade.

 

Because it won't be in your car for more than 20 minutes if you do what I suggested
