just completed a total rebuild of my 1977 911S 2.7 engine.       I am considering using a break in oil for initial start up and initial milage, before changing to a regular engine oil.   Does anyone know if using a break in oil is helpful and correct, to assist ring seating, and if so which brand, type, and weight oil would be correct ?

Yes, breakin oil is appropriate.  Check with LN Engineering, they have breakin oils in their Joe Gibbs line.
