I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me:
1) Since I also ordered for the break-in service, how long do you anticipate being able to ship this engine?
2) Can you provide details on how you break-in an engine? Do you replace the conrod after break-in (as some recommend)?
3) Are there any further steps that I need to take prior to leaning the engine and running it full tilt?
Really looking forward to trying your engine out.
Best Regards,

Hi Mike. The engine will be run in on the bench, and then in the car. I will run approximately one gallon of fuel through the engine to properly break it in. You will need to run a couple of fuel bottles through the engine before reaching a race tune. The rod does not need to be changed for a gallon of running after break in. I will have the engine ready to ship to you next week.
