| Engine Break-In (289) ? |
| By Greg Clarke - 10/08/2002 9:21:13 AM; IP 209.217.115.86 |
Hello,
Well....I have about 500 miles on my rebuilt 289 and I just have a quick question about the break-in period.
Basically, I can swear on a stack of bibles that the engine had more "snot" when I first picked it up and now it seems to be a lot flatter on the power curve.
The manifold did take a good tightening and I noticed a bit of an improvement after that.
But my question is this, Will the heads take a tightening? And the valve train (hydraulic)?
I have noticed a lot of ticking and tapping comming from my valve train lately.
Yes, I have been putting the car through the hoops but nothing to wild.
Let me know your thoughts....I appreciate your feedback and comments??
Thanks, Greg.
