Hi all
New guy here at this site and since I have some experience in this subject I thought I'd chime in.
If the honeing was done right with a good cross hatch your rings will seat in a very short period. If its a roller cam no cam break in is needed.
For flat tappets 15-20 mins at 2-2500 and good assembly lube and your good to go.
I use the cheapest 30 wt oil I can find and a bottle of Orielys additive which is loaded with zinc for the first 20 mins. drain and then refill the same way and do my dyno pulls. Drain again and use a good oil and more additive for 2-300 miles of normal driving (usually a weekend run) Then fill it with royal purple and run the snot out of it.
This seems to work for me.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
