Re: Newbie Rebuilt Engine Advice

Try to get it timed as best you can prior to start up--if necessary, do a slight distributor move after start up, keep an eye on oil pressure and water temp ( I wouldnt rely on idiot lights) and let it run for 15-20 minutes at about 2000 rpm (check your cam mfger recomendation). After the initial run in, let her cool down, change oil, do your final tuning-----and enjoy!!
