Veryh good point!

Just because it's new, doesn't mean it's *good* or that it's clean! Clean, inspect before using ANYTHING.

I personally wouldn't hot-tank new stuff - I prefer brake cleaner and isopropol alcohol. Same way I rinse stuff that's been hot-tanked. Bot-tanking (and other heavy solvent cleaning methods) just loosen up the crud - stuff still needs to be brushed, cleaned & rinsed (and sometimes painted). Especially internal oil passages.

 

have you sent your oil off for testing at a lab?

 

not yet im hooking up the rest of everything tonight firing it up and driving it around for 50 miles and pull the oil and then send it out
