Re: New motor break in time
I agree w/the steps suggested in that link but will add that break-in oil & additives are a must if you're breaking in a motor w/a hydraulic flat tappet type cam.
I filled the oil filter w/the additive & topped it off until full w/break-in oil. Fill the crank case up w/the remaining break-in oil. Get the valves set as close as possible & timing as well. You want it to be able to start quickly & do the initial cam break-in w/o fuss.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
