Like getting the pistons up to operating temp quickly, verifying that the oil pump is holding good oil pressure at 2500 rpm, that you do not have a leaky gasket somewhere on the engine. that you have even EGTs on both banks of the engine.
Course some people barely check anything. They just go out and beat on the engine. Carb is not right? so what?
Everyone has their own ideas on things. I like to do stuff once.

Engine held a constant 60 pounds of oil pressure just like Paul said it would except when we blipped the throttle and it went to 75/80. No leaks I could see. Unfortunately we had to do the break in in two stages cause his little Chevy II radiator couldn’t keep up. It never bubbles over or anything but I actually had him kill it cause I have my own ideas of what temp I want it to run at.
