Spent part of today replaceing all the lifters in the old girl. I gotta say, the Napa around here is awesome. I have yet to have to wait on parts, they always seem to have them in stock....AMC V8 pushrods, rocker assemblies, lifters, valleypan gaskets...back home it was always a 2 day wait while they ordered the simplest parts. (Sorry MC, had to get this done right now :sa: )
Anyway, the wife called a bit ago to ask if i got it all torn apart yet. I explained to her i was just putting the sparkplug wires back on a reconnecting the battery. Apparently, the shop that works on her rig isnt quite as fast as i am...but then again, im not being paid by the hour . She proclaimed her undying love to me, told me i was her hero, and hung up the phone :love7: :laughing5:
So, all buttoned up and tomorow when i have more time, i will do a cam/lifter break-in and check valvetrain oiling.
Which brings me to my question/confirmation: During a cam/lifter break-in, i run the engine at 2000rpm's for 15 minutes if i remember reading correctly....Anything after that? Stay off the skinny pedal for a while? or is that pretty much it :-|
