Thanks mate

For 2x 5 litres of millers running in oil its worked out at £60 inc vat...Now im hearing people using Halfords mineral oil as its the same think as id be ditchin the 1st lot within 20miles anyway....But £60 is a lot for oil considering it won't even last me...

Or doe it defo have to be decent oil for running it in?
looking mint now buddy all the blood sweat and tears worth it in the end mate

I know mate ive got everything now bar my Oil which i havent desided were to get it from.

Thanks Rob..


I might be going with the Millers stuff yet if alex can sort me out a price on them....As i know its a tryed and tested oil Over and over....

But il see how things go...I know i aint payin £60 for oil which will get binned in under 1,000 miles...
How are you going about with running you engine in rob?
How would you know that its in Maxuim Torque in the gear? Via the boost gauge?
