Re: Starting rebuilt engine for the 1st time

According this old statment of JET's I should have spun the oil pump also. I probably should borrow that thing at my engine builders shop that uses compressed air and oil and shoot it into the oil filter housing. Dam I don't want redo the timing belt.

yeah, spin the pump while it is out of the car, then do it again when it is in the car and you are ready to fire it up. Break-in is way overratted. Most of it happens in the first 20 miles if you had a good plateau bore hone done. Mine went on the dyno with 23 miles on it

I would recommend 200 miles though. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm
