New Cam/Lifters/Chain, Fresh Rings. Rebuilt '65 273, Cam Break-In done...
Started Driving it over the weekend. Haven't Revved it passed 3000 rpm yet.
How long should I be nice to it before I can Floor-It and Shift at 5000?
Used to be 250 miles, reasons differ.
I say do some steady loading of the rings, half throttle pulls, cruise, more h.t pulls... then cruise then full throttle 5000 rpm or so in shortburrs, like to up to 70mph..them let off to light throttle decelerating the motor down to 1500-2200 cruise again.
You're just seating the rings and checking tune/af. I think if the tunes good just take a couple Full Throttle pulls to seat the Rings and drive it like you would.
