I'm doing a short block rebuild. What kind of break-in period should I adhere to? And, what kind of procedures would you recommend?

Thanks,
Alan

Drive nice for the first 300 miles, change the oil after you first run the engine and again after the 300 mile mark. Then drive it like you want to.... Keep it under 3000 rpm's at first, then let it have it.........Good luck........Rich
 
I just rebuilt mine not too long ago, i babied it for the first 400 or so, then i began to hammer down but i didn't let the tach touch 5 grand, then at 500 i started taching it to about 5500, and she broke in REAL nice, feels like a 30% power gain over the old one. Its amazing :)
