Millers cro 10w40, but see if anyone else recommends it first, it is an oil made for that job, cfs is for use after running in

Agree with the above, Millers 10w40 will be spot on for the job.

Just to confirm that it should be the CRO version. Take a look:-
Millers Oils - A World Leader In Lubrication Technology look under Motorsport.

When you say re-built, I assume that includes new pistons, re-bore (at least de-glaze?)

If you use Millers make sure it is the mineral running in oil as they do two types.
Their synthetic running in oil is designed for dyno running in.
