It is a new rebuild. I am struggling with your rational. So, a new rebuild should not be run on the test stand? What is the purpose of the test stand, if not to test a rebuilt engine? Is the purpose of the test stand to test used engines? So what is the limit an engine should be run on the test stand after a rebuild? How does test-stand-time differ from break in time, installed in the car. Just askin'!
