440 w/TorqStorm SC - Boost Getting Into Crankcase?? Valley Pan BULGE

Not today it shouldn’t. If it takes more than 2, maybe 3 pulls on the dyno before the rings are seated it’s junk.

There is an incredible amount of information out there on bore geometry, surface finish and all that. We are well past the long mileage for ring break in.

Yeah, but how do any of us here KNOW what level of machine work he had done? If it was honed with a torque plate, the rings are pretty much broken in as soon as it warms up. If not.......it'll take a "bit". ...and that doesn't mean anything is "junk" either.
