My 360 Six Pack build!!!

"has only seen a few minutes on the engine stand running just to check on leaks an other issues"

If this motor has a new flat tappet cam, you need to break the motor in properly, 20 minutes at varying rpms above 2500 rpm, no idle time! Hopefully, you won't be posting about yet another flat tappet cam failure that will be blamed on everything from cheap off-shore lifters, soft cam cores, or lack of zinc in oil. Aside from my soap box preaching, that is a nice looking motor.

That I did. "A few minutes in the engine stand" actually means "25 minutes in the engine stand @2000/2500 RPM with zddp aditive added to the oil". So hopefully there should be no tappet or cam wear!!!! And also took the inner spring out of the heads to reduce break in spring pressure.

If there is a fairlure... I will not blame anything, only Sh...t happens sometimes. Welll... Lets hope not!!!
