340 break in question

You really think the TV shows televise the break in? That's cut out and they usually say "the engine was broken in and now we're doing some power pulls...". I built my stand just to limit the liability with sending a customer the engine and relying on them to get it broken in right. First start is the most risky part. Not the grease, not the break in oil, not removing the inners... Verify rotation, and get it fired with the least number of rotations under 2K as possible.
