Spent the morning getting all the fluids put in the car & the battery charged up.
Pushed the car out of the garage because I figure the open headers will be too loud & running it for 20 minutes to break in the cam may stink up the house.
Got the cam broke in but it's leaking badly out the rear of the engine. I will be pulling it out tomorrow to try & see where the oil is coming from.
Lost about 2 quarts over running it for 20 min during break in. It had ran a while when I noticed it & I kept the rpm cycling 1800-2500 to but shut it off right around 10 minutes in to check/add oil. It was a quart low & I added 2 quarts to get it thru the cam break in period.
So it ran for 10 minutes at the high break in rpm, shut it off for 3 minutes to add oil & ran for another 10 minutes at the high break in rpm, shut it off 5 for minutes to add oil, ran a couple more minutes to set timing & idle speed.
It sounded good & idled nice after setting the timing. Hopefully shutting it off mid way thru was ok, I figure it's better than running it out of oil.
