My friend (has that gross honda virus) had his H22 taken apart recently to sleeve it, and he used nothing but royal purple for 3 years... engine had a **** ton of sludge in it...
i know they are reputable, but i wont use it because of this

yeah, heard the same thing... Royal Purple isnt terrible, but im willing to bet you are right... overpriced conventional. I used rotella T, and right now it is only $13 if you have an advanced auto nearby.... doesnt get cheaper than that.

Well if it was a non-detergent race oil (which some royal purple oils are) the sludge is completely understandable. Non-detergent oils will sludge every time, they're supposed to be run in engines that have their life measured in hours. But any detergent oil has no business sludging at all unless the oil change interval was stretch WAY to long (common symptom of the honda virus).
makes sense... it probably was the non detergent race stuff... slap "race" in the name, and it automatically looks better for the V-Tack

For oil, I used Rotella for the whole process.
Rotella T1 SAE30 (straight-grade) for initial fill, start and drain (to clean up all the crap after assembly)
Rotella T1 SAE30 (straight-grade)for break-in (like first 10-30 miles)
Rotella T Triple 15W40 (good conventional) for first 500 miles or so
Rotella T6 after that (full synthetic)
Bought everything at walmart
straight-grade rotella -

They can be difficult to get hold of. Best to email them directly (Geoff/Jon/Raffi)

I'll probably end up doing the Rotella T1 route now.
Thank God... someone that knows engine break in isn't 500-1000mi. It doesn't take THAT long for rings to seal.
How did you do your break in?
My plan was:
fill with strait weight oil, start up and idle. Change oil, normal drive to nearby bridge. forth gear to vacuum/boost threshold let off gas, repeat untill over bridge (4-5 Times or more) then just normal drive around to put miles, change oil.
Hondas don't need oil changes. they eat a qt a week so it's like having a new oil every month!

Update on the new EFR 7163 from Geoff:
The 7163 "is likely to be released in August and shipping in sept"
I'm not going to lie(I can not, I like big butts), I'm pretty ******* excited.

There will be a delay in getting and EFR sadly, thanks to the ol AirForce shaft, but all in due time. It's still fun with the IHI rh55 :/ even though they are horrible.

Florida summers are horrible though, especially in a black car.
It would make my " well it fit" manifold worry go away

There is nothing worse than sitting in traffic and the sweltering heat just engulfs you. No one will ever want to ride in your car.
