New engine break-in suggestions
Any friendly advice on breaking in my newly rebuilt engine from AER? I already have Rich's checklist of adding a few squirts of oil to each cylinder 24 hours before firing it up, and maintain high idle of 1000 to 1200 RPM to ensure adequate cylinder lubrication (I'm starting with Quaker State 5w-30)
I have added 4 oz. of MMO to the half full tank of gas. Any other ideas or suggestions? This is an insert block with a 6.0 Snyder head, the "Touring" model, for those of you familiar with AER's work.
I'd appreciate other suggestions, hoping to enjoy this engine for a long time into the future...
