What work did you get done?

The head really is set to go once you install, because of the roler rockers, there isn't a need for special ube or any break in time required on a cam, and the rest is basically set.

Isnt the term 'break in' on a motor just mostly concerned wiht the piston rings seating correctly?

if there IS any break-in on a head, i didnt follow it at all, i was redlining (like normal emoji ) right after my head re-build. no problems at all since then. i would have to aggree w/ the above, just drive it like normal.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:
