EDIT dont forget to pull the plugs and have a helper SLOWLY turn the crank w a breaker bar/1&1/4" socket as you prime so both heads get oiled and be aware that alot of hand turning will wipe the goop off of the cam lobes (if this is a new cam breakin). That's why I leave the intake off until all this is finished so I can goop the cam and have it properly prepared just before fireup. A bit picky perhaps but w all that $$$ invested I'm Ok w it Last edited by RapidRobert; 04/13/10 10:04 AM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
