Break in:

To make sure that you have no issues during break-in, follow these few suggestions.

• Make sure that the cam has a Liberal amount of quality assembly lube applied
• DO NOT let the engine start without oil pressure
• When this is a new engine, be sure to put a liberal amount of assembly lube in the oil pump and prime the oil filter
• Be sure to change the oil after you have done your break-in procedure. When the filter and oil system are already primed, engine will get oil pressure much faster than if the oil is changed at the same time.
• Disconnect the fuel system and spin the engine with the starter until oil pressure can be read or until oil is coming out of the rocker arms.
• Do not let the starter run for more than 10 seconds at a time
• Once oil pressure has been verified, let the engine start and run for five minutes at 1200-1500rpm then shut engine down
• Adjust valves then you are cleared to abuse your engine. Enjoy the added airflow
• if you need to re-torque or “hot-torque “the head, do so before adjusting valves. Re-torqueing the head changes the valve lash setting, so it is important to set lash last.
