My first time doing a top end, piston,rings,valves were ok. Just finished, fired right up. Ran it for a minute then pulled the lower valve cover to make sure it was getting oil, you bet it was, ran for another 3min. at about 3k. just shut her down and am letting it cool. I was advised by Mel to do it this way. He's not on this forum but on the other site,quite a few of you know him, he's the engine man from the Tech Days rebuild on DRATV's site.
