Thread: Breaking in a new engine, have question

when growing up we always had a saying, after a rebuild it was either go or blow, so just nail it!

of course we didn't have a pcm to tune, you tune it yourself with a timing light and re jet the carb as needed, but you get the point.

This.

We put a new motor in my buddys S10, let it idle for a min to get the oil around and just hammered on it. Revved it to the moon a couple times to make sure its all working, sure did smoke up the shop but everything worked great. Once he got it on the road he did the same thing, just beat on it because if its going to blow up it will.
