Hi Don,
I'm assuming you are taking steps to bring up the oil pressure before firing it up?
There's probably a lot of personal opinions here but I like to stay to the low end of that RPM range - not much more that 2,000, and as far as duration I've run break-ins for 1/2 hour or more. I also like to have a fan blowing under the front of the car for additional cooling while it loosens up. (Assuming said knucklehead wired the fan to turn in the right direction, but I digress.)
The other points I've debating over a beer is the radiator cap. I like to leave it off at first to see a good burp before I pressureize it but people consistently tell me I am stupid on this one.
I wish I was there - nothing better than a fresh lilght up!
Jim

Got the Motor in the car. With a new bore and new rings, what's the proper procedure to break in the motor?
It does have Brad Penn Break in Oil. I was told to bring the engine to temperature and then let it run between 2,000 and 3,000 for 15 or 20 minutes. Change the oil and go racing.
Opinions?
