Fired up my C59A for the first time this morning. Ran her for about 10 minutes at what I guessed was about 2500 rpms to seat the new lifters on the cam, then shut her down. When it cools I will retorque the heads.
Initial reactions... the Weiand heads make the engine seem very responsive. She's chuffing out a fair bit of blue smoke, so I guess I'm gonna have a bit of a hard time getting the new rings to seal.
