Default VR-1 20w50 for breakin???

Is VR-1 20w50 too thick for break in on an engine with main bearing clearances of .016 and rods .020??? I am having a hard time finding the VR-1 10w30

I would just use the cheapest stuff you can find for break in. You should change it out before 50 miles anyways . Im just going to run some advance auto parts brand oil for my break in then change it with VR1 straight 50 weight. Just make sure and change the oil a few times before the 1000 mile mark.
