Re: From ashes

If its going to fail it will fail very soon, assuming you aren't exceeding the limits via tuning, fueling etc.

I agree with Kracka. You'll need 400-500 miles for the clutch, then at that time you can check for leaks etc but then you can turn it up.

Worked fine on my motor.

But the initial ring sealing etc is like the first 10 minutes on the dyno. I did do a prolonged breakin on my newest motor though with A LOT of vacuum pulls but many shops just put the car on the dyno after being built and let er buck.

Preference really. By waiting 500-1000 miles you aren't going to prevent any problems that came from assembly or internal parts. Maybe an oiling issue or fueling but not assembly.
