Oh shit sorry I only read the thread title 
I'd run it on cheap 20/50 or some mineral oil for 500miles change oil filter, same again then change oil and filter and run what I said in the first post!
I think Sticker Paul ran his in on Silkolene though?

What grade is best to use?
I'm going to use mobil 1, I don't think you can get better. When you open up an engine that's been run on mobil 1 for its entire life and nothing else it's in alot better condition and alot less sludgy than others.

Less cam/bore wear, general condition of all parts, golden finish on areas. I have had similiar cars both with service history and one being ran on mobil 1 was alot better engines. Just my opinion and not looking for an arguement.

Thats what I thought about Castrol RS, untill I was asked to do tests on it. big shock. Wont go into details but oil was below optimum Spec after a single 200mph run. No one is saying that other oils will destroy your engine but it will be wearing it out quicker than some others, Tests are a real eye opener, MAD & Mike Rainbird recommend Silkolene as their prefered choice for the YB engine following the tests that I did.

I'd love to see the same tests done on say a 400bhp Cossie
