Need some pro tips. In my last thread I outlined rebuild of my engine. Ran it Easter weekend in Havasu for a light break in trying to seat my rings, wear parts in. My dumbass put the wrong oil in. I put a full synthetic 5w30 in and added zinc. Good news is I have less then 1 hour on motor and swapped oil to a standard Kendall 20w50 for break in. Immediately after oil change I am getting white smoke. No other factors changed. Obviously oil is mixed into exhaust since rings haven't set yet. I am also assuming the full synthetic light weight oil coated everything and is very slippery. Engine runs flawless. All parameters on laptop are perfect.
Questions is, do I just keep breaking in the motor and running rpm varying from 1000- 3000? Smoke is getting better as I run it more. Or is there a way to flush oil out, clean parts/ get less slippery using my oil primer tool and refill? Dont believe engine has got hot enough yet either to full set my rings. I run a cross over and no thermostat as it serves no purpose in way my plumbing is routed. Any ideas are greatly appreciated
