What parts to soak in oil?
What parts do I soak in oil and how long? I'll be putting the heads and oil pan on my shortblock this coming week. Soak everything in the Rotella T 15W-40 right? I know you're supposed to soak the lifters and that's pretty much all I know.

I was told by the engine builder to run this in the motor the first 1,000-1,500 miles. He said it contains stuff that really helps the motor during break-in that other oils don't have.
