Whats up everyone my name is Jose im new to this site and also new to the ramforums! So i got a question hopefully you guys can help me out. So i got a new truck about 1month ago its a 2005 ram 1500 5.7L and after i purchased the truck i drove it for about 5 days. I prob put a lil over 500 miles. Truck ran good and strong. But when i took to get inspected i hate to say this but the truck shut off in the middle of the inspection long story short im a mechanic myself and i took it home and pull the head out and saw my valve dropped and my piston is into pieces so i got a new rebuilt engine. I honestly dont get how the valve dropped idk if the mechanics in the shop beat on it or they rev the crap out of the truck or what because i took it to them running. And i got it out not running. But i should be getting my new engine this week now, what type of oil should i use to break it in? How many miles? Here are some pic of the truck...
