Bearings are ACL Race, not sure if the main studs were replaced or not, I'd have to ask MAP. Rod bolts are L19's though

Thx for the link! I've read just about every one of the big dsm/evo shops break-in instructions (including these) and I think AMS is spot-on here and its about what I've done. Partial throttle pulls are fine since the existing tune is mostly fine, and its rare that I cruise on the freeway for more than a few miles anyways.
Got about 60 miles on it now, no leaks yet and it drives/idles great! I can't wait to start tuning this thing
These cams are awesome, the car will idle just fine at 900rpm and roll down my alley in first gear at 1000rpm no problem.
