Hey, I've fairly well got far in my build and stuff, engine got back in car yesterday evening.
Car is a '04 Comp-G w/ 65k
What I've put in is ; New head gaskets, got the heads magnafluxed + milled + ls6 springs + modded retainers and viton valve seals, ls7 lifters and a XP cam.
Now what my question is ; Is my order / "break-in" / oil change order fine.
So on the startup tonight what I planned to do is ;
1; Fill it up with new coolant & oil,
2; Do the security relearn for the Overkill PCM
3; With the fuel pump relay removed; prime the engine oil pressure for a few cycles, waiting a few secs in between.
4; Re-install fuel pump relay and attemp to crank, see if everything sounds fine or not,
5; If everything sounds okay, let it idle up to operating range, bleed coolant,
6; One coolant is bled, change the oil a second time,
7; Crank her up again, go in for a 100-200 drive
8; If no rod knock, change oil for a third time,
9; Be happy that my cammed build works, have a beer, or two, or three.
Anything I missed?
