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? |

Pull the battery from the car and use as short as cables as possible. I also used my battery charger which has a "quick start" setting to help with the juice. It took quite a bit of turning over with the battery before everything finally loosened up. It will labor a lot in the beginning but you should be able to hear the the engine begin to turn over easier. At that point you're OK to put the plugs in and try to fire.
