just about to put my motor together but im looking in to break in methods now. I read motosmans method but I just want a clearer understanding. So basically im to let it idle to op temp for 20 minutes, change oil, go drive for 20 miles with pulls in 2,3,4 gear allowing it to pull full vacuum after each pull, do that about 3-5 times to 50 mph correct?. then what after that? I know to use conventional oil, ill look to see if I can find any specific engine break in oil. but any suggestions would help, want to make sure the rings seat and everything is good to go. Btw its just a plain jane rebuild, not for power just for a reliable dd till I get out of tech school and can afford another dd and project car. thanks guys
