I am just about ready to get my engine back together.
Quick recap of work done:
Head;
New supertech valves. Evo behive springs and retainers. New Guides and seals. Resurface. Stock cams.
Block;
Resurface top and front. Re-hone cylinders. was bored .020" over. New Hastings rings. New ACL main and rod bearings. Machine shop modified the rods to better handle crush on the rod bearings. Balanced rotating assembly. Removed balance shafts with AMS kit.
Machine shop recommended using this for a break in oil.
They also recommend moderate driving for the first 500 miles with varying rpm on low boost. 5 lbs. Then change oil and drive regularly.
I have also done some research and found this site talking about breaking in an engine fast for more power. web page
Thoughts and recommendations?
Thanks.
