This is a roller cam engine does not require a break in period. Start your engine bring to 2000 rpm get it running smoothly. While engine is running check oil pressure, coolant temp and fluid leaks. Thanks for any input or comments...2irocs

Re: Blue Print Engine

I have never tried one, nor do I know anyone who has. My impression was that they were of above average quality (Vs a reman.) because they used new parts/castings (not from U.S.), but that's just based on what I've read.

You might want to try posting this in the https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech-general-engine/ section of the forum. More folks will see it.
