Re: Lucas Break-in Additive

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

big blocks turn counter clockwise, I always install a mechanical oil 
pressure guage with about an 18" long copper tube  in the back of the block 
so I can watch it come up, rotate the engine by hand a couple of times while 
priming it and you should be OK, I am not familiar with the Lucas stuff, the 
last couple I started with Rotella. Hope this helps.
