The build is a GO!

[Cknight199]

The builder said 500 miles then change the oil and then I'm good. I'm at about 330 miles right now...I've gotten on it a few times but haven't held it for more than a few seconds.

I need to get over the old stock motor..I keep thinking I'm going to throw a rod, and then I remember..not anymore

Lol I hammered down from the second it started . I've already put 700 miles on mine haha

this surprises me, we always change them within the first 50 miles then again at 500. just a filter change at 250 also. i dont want all the break in trash and pre lube in the motor for all those miles.

Maybe I will change the oil right now before I go for a drive..

I changed mine a couple times before 500 than again at 1000. Still hard to go more than 2,000 intervals

I assume you used standard rotella 15w40 or did you go full synthetic?

I never have liked rotella. I use either delo400 or Mobil delvac. Just standard 15w40.

Well apparently i fixed the oil leak i had. I pulled the oil drain off and resealed it. No more leaks.

This what I'd did except I started it ran it for 30 mins or so to warm up and check for leaks ect and then changed oil drove it 50 changed it again ect ect oil has been changed 5 times in 2800 miles lol

I changed it this afternoon. Had 300 miles on it. It looked good, no metalics or anything in it.

Negative. I don't have any way to cut it open without getting the cuttings all over in the filter.

 

[Awenta]

Screwdriver or an axe? Haha

If you choose the latter please record.

A large knife is what I use. The proper tool is expensive for how much I would use it. I broke the CAT one I had.

I did about the same in my personal truck, hard to get customers to pay for that many oil changes unfortunately.

Way I look at it oil is a lot cheaper then a motor

since this is my third built motor i 100% agree with you there. :rofl:

 

[catman3126]

Take it to a Cat shop, Cat tools makes a filter cutter. or just use a sharp chisle that will work too.

 

[Awenta]

Anything that will shear and not actually cut. Just need one half then you can rip it open.

Pump it with an air compressor until it gives
