In process of motor rebuild and was wondering best ways possible to break it in so rings seat and everything seats properly. Im still new to most of this. Thanks!
No prolonged idling, no constant rpm, and no heavy hauling, for the first 5000 miles or 50 hours. Use conventional oil for break in oil, no synthetic. WOT is OK for short bursts but not for extended periods. Otherwise than that drive as u normally would and enjoy.
Please elaborateIncorrect.
You want a constant load on the motor. Avoid steady RPM's for extended times. Hook up to a fairly light trailer and hit some hills. Keep the boost and egts up.
Some of you guys make this a lot harder than it really is. Start the engine. Check for leaks. Do whatever cam break in your supposed to. Then either slap it down on the dyno and make full power runs for a few miles or hook to a heavy trailer and drive the balls off it. Don't idle it more than you have to. Keep it hot and run them hard to get everything to seat. Pretty basic

Assemble, floor it.
So assemble, add zinc, no oil and floor it? Got it.
