Well all being well my corsa should be back on the road next week  Its had a full head rebuild along with a bore deglaze, piston rings and ARP conrod bolts etc.
I'm just after some help on running it in basically. I've not had to do anything like this before so I want to make sure I get it right. What sort of oil should I use during the running in period, how many miles, and how should I be driving it?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated  Cheers!

Glad to hear its nearly done mate
Most people will tell you to drive it carefully for around 500-750 miles. So keeping it below 3,000rpm, not engine braking etc. After 500 miles drop the oil and change the oil and filter.
The grade of oil doesnt really make that much difference although some people will say use a mineral whilst others say use fully synthetic. IMO id just use the oil you would normally use.
People will say difference but thats how id run it in just to be on the safe side
