presoaking lifters

I completely assemble my engines,lubing the timing set
and dabbing assembly grease on all contact points.
I lube valve stems with oil before I assemble the heads.
Rings and pistonskirts are oiled by oil on the cly walls.
After complete assembly I run the oilpump to fill crank,
cam bearings, lifters, passages and filter with oil.
I turn the engine over by hand till everything is oiling
to my satistfaction.
After 30 min breakin I change oil and filter and
again at 500 mile on street engine.
Just how I've alway done it.
Usually have lots of smoke and smells in the
first 1/2 hr.
I worked in a machine shop and dealership,
and the second time around was on me.
We call them fetchybacks and they SUCK!
Transmissions are the only thing I ever cross my
fingers on.
