engine on break in stand pic
A pic of my engine on the run in stand. Tomorrow is when we plan to start it up if everything goes to plan.
My friend who owns the stand has considerable more experience with engines and general mechanics. will be here to help. He has been here several times during the assembly to guide and help.

You have a roller cam? Minimize your time on the run-stand. Get that thing in a vehicle, or on a dyno so the rings and cylinder walls can see some loading, and then some high-vacuum. Alternate load and vacuum to assure the rings and walls are appropriately broken-in.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
