Last year made a faux pas backing out of my yard and bent the upper side molding. Found a guy that straightened it back to almost normal. Broke one clip and had a hell of time sourcing the right one but found it at Mar K, black clip in molding. The " What did I do to my Truck Today " part is I finally got the molding back on the truck today.. .

I really like these LED headlights.
Hooked the middle bar to be DRL. Pictures don't show up correctly. Top section looks like black chrome, then the white bar, then the bottom section. |

Checked to make sure the top radiator hose I ordered was correct(it was), so with that being good I cleaned up and repainted the thermostat housing and cleaned the surface on the intake manifold. Hope/Plan to have that altogether tomorrow.

Does BPE break the cams in on their engines? If it's a roller, that might be a moot point? I've read the break-in procedure and it seems to be full power runs. Seeing all the horror stories about cams going flat, I hesitate to rebuild the old 402.

I know home builders always go thru the ritual of breaking in a newly-assembled engine: With a distributor shaft mounted in a variable speed drill motor's chuck, spin up the Oil Pump until circulation is noted. Reinstall Distributor. With a crankcase full of Non Detergent SAE 30 oil, Pre Run at a specified RPM for about 20 or 30 minutes in place, observing functions. Some will flush this oil and filter, and add more ND SAE 30 and run for 500 miles at variable speeds but no freeway action. After 500 miles, flush oil again with type you will run for its life, and the break-in is complete. So do the manufacturers just pump out green engines, and let the consumers break them in? |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The car manufactures do not break in engines . Used to be cars would have less than 10 miles on them mostly from the dealer moving it and going to fill it up but I doubt they fill them up anymore . The last new vehicle I bought was my Dodge 3500 CTD it had 100 miles on it as they had to bring it up from another dealer . But with overhead cams roller cams the need to break in is moot. Studebakers have solid lifters never had one wipe a cam out .
