Wow that is a lot of work for just a break in. The Only things I did was Run it at 2000 to 2500 for 30 min, which allowed for the Cam to break in took it on some drives with small but noticable engine load to 4th gear because thats all the further I got In the gearing and speed. I used Sythetic Blend 10 w30 ( Castrol ) and have not had any issues with it at all. After 250 or 300 miles I retorqued the Head to 80 Ft. Lbs per Aluminum Head Rebuilders instructions. Changed Oil and Filter at 500 miles and Inspected the oil thru a White cloth to make sure that no Metal was in there. You MIGHT have some if any at all, I had none. As far a fuel and plugs go I didnt do any of that Disconnecting or messing with any of that. I just set the timing and got it where It needed to be, check the fluids topped off where needed. made sure no leaks were happening. I did the break in like i was taught in Auto shop minus the Engine Dyno, and My Dad who has rebuilt so many engines he can do it blind <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />. Just Keep A VERY close eye on tempature. I was so Paranoid of ruining my new head that took me a year to save up for, that I installed a 180 degree Thermostat, just to be on the safe side. and made sure that the head was getting coolant, that is another Big thing to watch for too. If anyone else has tips they will let you know. You Will have some Gremlins to work out once you get it up and running I had quite a Few. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
