RE: Break In

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't spoken about that yet with him.  I'm going back on Tuesday.
I wanted to "bone up" a little before I did.  I just didn't want him trying
to get me to do something I didn't want to or let him not do something I
should.
Does that make sense?  He was getting ready to do a SB 'stang motor with
twin turbo's when I was there.  "gotta pay the rent" was his response.  He
had an AAR cuda of his own in one of the garage bays, it looked really nice.
He did ask if I wanted to break it in with synthetic oil instead but had to
get to the motor as he was on the clock and the motor owner was there.

I also feel this way.Went to Indiana back in the 70's to a speed shop for
the big time Mopar pro stock- can't remember his name  darn - he switched to
ferds...

But - had a 2-4v. 340 w/ adjustable rockers early w-2 heads..set to cam
specs for normal break in,, before they would put it on the dyno - had to
loosen them up 5thousands for the first pull then reset closer  for
remaining pulls. 2.5 hrs later had it back to mfg. specs and a solid 450 hp.

> I know we talked about this before. If your engine builder, and mopar nut
with the amazing shop can't give you a plan with full knowledge of thier
equipment, I don't know if I would want them to break in my engine. I know
you've spent good money on your 361. Most good engine books will give you
the standard. May I suggest calling Lunati for their recommended break-in
for a dyno. I found out the hard way and ruined a Racer Brown cam by having
the valve setting to close on a power pull.
