Title: Fresh motor
Post by: chaosmotox on May 21, 2014, 12:10:32 PM

So I got my new motor in and everything should be ready to go but still need to break in the motor and do a test run. Anyone have time to help out tomorrow? I have never timed or broke in a motor before.

Those headers look dead sexy :thumbup:

Are you running a flat tappet or a roller cam?

Corona. Not sure on the cam the guy I got the motor from said I need to break it in. So I'm guess it's a flat tappet.

It is ok to break in the motor on the hose? Not sure when I'm gonna get time to take it out before the first river trip.

Dude, get help from someone who really knows.  So many things can go wrong so fast. If you waste a cam, all those metal shavings get circulated into everything and the whole motor needs to come apart.
