royal purple was my choice and it seems to hae worked fine

do rember that lube hides the "feel" a little bit so i recomend a mock up with light engine oil like 10 or 15 as this wil show any tightness or binding on the crank and rods cam bearings that said i dont recomend 10 or 15 for the intial lube i prefer build lube for that as it stays put untill full oil pressure has been acheved

only my opinion take what you will !

I used the torco lube from minispares

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Torco for me

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.
