I'm getting ready to fire up a motor that was built maybe 20 years ago. I've primed it and adjusted valve lash and of course have break in oil (Driven BR 15w-50 Racing break in oil) so it should be ready to go. Over the years I've rotated it many times but it is an old cam with hydraulic flat tappet lifters.
What I remember from years ago was to run it at 2000rpm for 20 minutes or so. Am I correct about this? Any other suggestion from some old school engine guys are very welcome because I'd hate for things to go bad and have to pull it out again. I know I'm taking a risk but it's all I have to work with at the moment.
What am I missing, Jim
