Ok, so I want to fire the engine today on the test stand for the first time. I understand that I need to run it for 20mins at over 2500 rpm for cam/lifter break in.
I dont have a seperate tach, so what would be the min hook up to run long jumpers to the car, and use the in-dash tach? |

Before you try to fire it you should pull all the plugs and turn it over to get oil circulation. If you used assembly lube it's a lot stickier than oil. The engine will labor at first but will turn easier when it gets oil circulation. Also, do you have an oil light and pressure gauge hooked up? When your turning the engine over without the plugs in look for the oil light to go out. You probably won't get significant pressure until it fires. Oh, and make sure your fuel pump is off if your just turning it over for oil circulation.
