You're saying a good break in is hooking up a trailer and putting load on the engine? Lol. What ever happened to a full heat cycle. And then just driving it like a normal person for a 1000 miles or so

That's exactly what I do. OP I'm sure you'll get mixed theories. I'm just sharing how I've always done it.

If I could find a new home for the .020" over pistons it would go even better! Lol!

Well SOLD the .020" over pistons today, and my others were suppose to be delivered today.... but thanks to mother nature dumping snow and ice all over Dallas they got held up there...

That was few hours ago, it's together now... chasing fuel leak and got a freeze plug leaking.... maybe crank tmoro...

Freeze plug leak, yay haha! Looks like you coming along fast.

Yea luckily it's one behind the starter so won't be bad to get to, the block heater is also leaking... guess gonna have to pull turbos find one fuel leak, the other looks like supply line down by the bottom of block....

Well got it fired up today, sounded great for awhile. Had a slight ticking noise around 1500 rpm and up... took it for test drive and it got a little better, checked things over again and went for another drive... Got back and ticking noise was worse, guess I'll have to pull valve covers and see if I can find where the issue is.........

I didn't hear no ticking noise when you drive by earlier haha, no but that sucks, hope you find the problem.
