just wanted to start a post to help get some opinions on what oil to use for a break in for a 188 I’m in the process of rebuilding. I would guess a good conventional 15/40 diesel oil but thought I’d ask for some opinions as I have never broke a fresh diesel in before.
Also how should I do the initial break in to get the best results.
Engine is a case 188d in an old 580ck. ( late 60s from best I can tell) has the 4spd gearbox and a shuttle transmission. Installing a out of frame rebuild kit so all new liners, pistons, rings , bearings ect.
Any tips and opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.
