Yep - that's exactly what concerns me about this fellow. When I asked about ring seating on a new engine - if I should do it before going on the dyno - or - if it could be done on the dyno, he said.... "we usually get 'em roughly tuned and stand on it, so that'll take care of ring seating". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Yikes! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> If I use auto tune, once I get enough done, I can probably get the rings seated on some easy 2nd gear pulls if I stay out of boost. Truth be told, they'll probably be seated long before I go through the "caveman ring-seating ritual". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Oh - for those interested, the oil cooler banjo bolts are all steel.... it was a very good likeness of brass with the coating on a couple of them.... or my eyes are bad..... or memory failing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
