Re: Break In

[Donald Schrader <schrader@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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.
