You may be absolutely correct in those thoughts, be
sure and let us all know. All I know is I have never had
reciprocating rings seat worth a darn with detergent and/or more so
synthetic oil; but, then again, rings don't move up and down against multiple
honed cyinder, etc.. So, who knows, our basically two cylinder walls and
six rings may actually work out better. rots a ruck.

I personally think the whole "never use synthetic oil for
break-in" recommendation is mostly folklore. Corvettes, and probably a
number of other engines come straight off the assembly line with full
synthetic, and they've got a lot more parts to seat that we do. Sump oil
is irrelevant for apex seals, and half irrelevant for side seals. Oil
rings, yeah, those are new. There's only one new bearing, in the whole
engine though. I think I'll be OK... or not
:-)
