Re: Tight engine
After all necessary things are done, oil, water, ect. Take out the plugs, put it in high gear, and pull it about 15 miles an hour, no more, and no less.
Equivalent of 4 to 8 miles. Around the section if you have one, or up and down a long lane, or around the block.
This is always safer then starting the engine up, when new. The oil pan will still get hot enough so you can't hold your hand on it. You then don't have to worry about burning a bearing out, and it is also much better on piston, and rings, because you don't have the heat to contend with.
Heat, at this point is not your friend!
