Wondering if you had to break the motor in or not? And if so what's the quickest and easiest way to do so. Im on a tight schedule to get this done before the half mile event in Sep. Thanks
Drive it for 500 then get on it!
Strap to Dyno and make multiple pulls. Done
Lol
Do you guys like to prime your crate motors before fireup? I've heard this isn't necessary since they ship with oil already inside. If so, how?
I dont think they ship with oil in them

This is the best engine break in thread I've ever read. He has done all the research and documentation to back up his claims.
Every engine I install goes from the rack straight onto the dyno, I put a 20% load on the brake and make 3k to 6k pulls and then let it slowly decel to 3k then hit it again. I do this several times. Then let it cool, ck fluids and do it 5 or 6 times. I keep this cycle up till I get 15 to 20 hard pulls/decels on it. Then change the oil and its ready to be driven. Leakdowns are always very low with this method as ring seal is optimized.
