Did Rex have advise for seating the rings? The boost would create plenty of cylinder pressure to push the rings against the walls, is there an RPM limit you are sticking to for the few hundred miles?

 

Way to go Grippy!! Cheers to Joe for some nice tuning work too
Your 2 mile break in is only a tad bit slower than Rex's and my break in.
I'm certainly glad to see your under the narcosis of boost once more.

Have a blast and good luck sir!

yea, I have seen rex's break in process.....90mph sideways down Canoga.

 

That answers my question

 

Hey Hey! did I do something wrong, LOL................I did put it through several heat cycles before the first 2 miles!

This thing really hauls the mail! I think we figured out a great cam between Ed Curtis and yourself

 

That's because I have no control of my right foot when I'm driving that Chevelle and that sweet smell of rubber and the sound of A BBC at 8000 gives me wood! Stoichiometric I agree with you on the break in procedure. Load the engine with A little boost as this keeps the rings pressed against the cylinder walls.Change the oil,check for any K R under load and if all looks well let it rip. Rex....

 

I have always broken in my engines the way I want them to run.

 

Don't forget to smile for the camera!

 

Baaa, let your fans fail and run 13 psi within the first 15 min.....it worked for me.....and its still running 15K later.

 

OK Fine,Drive it like ya stole it. Are you happy now? LOL
