What oil should be used for first startup and how long should you wait to change it after said start?
Swapping aluminator
- Thread starter Famine
- Start date
I ran Joe Gibbs BR30 and put one heat cycle through it and then changed it while it was still hot. I always change oil when the car is up to temp though. 9600 miles later, my Aluminator has been rock solid.

Does anyone have a site that sells the aluminator for the best price?

Jeremy, why look for an Aluminator if you can just forge the engine with MMR's forged kit?
I've been thinking of using their kit to forge the engine and build up from there for some time now. About a year, but never pulled the trigger. (I would assume it would be cheaper doing it this way?)

I thought when i priced it out before, it was comparable but i need to look again. The heads are desireable to me as well.

One thing i dont see with the m50a1 is the part confirming it uses the forged rods and all that from the 2015. Its confusing.

Even there though, they devide the two into gen1 and gen2. When it talks about the new revisions, it says gen2 and doesnt specify the gen1. Im sure youre right, but they arent totally clear with their add.

Not sure if that is an engine for a state that uses emissions testing. I know that emissions testing have been tightened this past year.
Something to look at before buying.

yeah, it is kinda worded weird. You can always give them a call. I had to for the cam specs.
Good call for those that need it. No concern to me.
I guess ill call them this week despite despising being on the phone.
