Just drive it. Don't beat it too hard and try and fluctuate throttle position. I changed my oil at 500 and 1000 miles.
Right on. When you guys filled your engine first how did you guys push oil to the crankcase and through all ports? Just put a socket on an impact and spin the pump by the shaft till I get oil in the crankcase?

Hit the starter with the FICM unplugged on my LB7
I changed the oil 5 times in 500 miles then every 1000 miles after.

Id use an oil with a higher % of zinc in it for initial break-in.
Can you figure out why your sig shows within your posts? Its something you have set in Tapatalk on your phone...

I used delo 400, 600 miles on the motor went to the track and busted off a 11.1@123 that should have seated the rings :woott:
You don't have a FICM... You need something like thishttps://www.summitracing.com/parts/mel-mpl-101?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-melling&gclid=CPuytfDf-dMCFRB0fgodfVEBvQ
Or build one out of heavy PVC pipe.
Mobil then Rotella after 500 miles, didn't prime it, had it on a 2,000 mile road trip after the first oil change, motor hasn't been under 700rwhp in 5 years now has 55k
Delo 400 reg dino oil in each engine on first start up. i crank till a mechanical gauge at the last main port shows pressure, the start it.
engine is then ran and checked for leaks till it reaches operating temp. If a new cam is put in, its broke in via the instructions that came with. after that, let it cool and then take it for a drive. let everything warm up and give it a couple WOT runs on a decent sized good tune. it doesnt bother me one bit cause i know the exact specs inside that motor and i want those damn rings to seat!
go 500 miles, change oil and cut open oil filter looking for sparkly things. if all is good, new oil and off ya go!

not unless you have the front cover off, crank gear off and plug the left side oil galley.
Correct. The motor will turn over for a solid 2-3 minutes before firing. Use a copious amount of assembly lube and it'll be fine.
