to dyno or not?

[devdiesel]

hey guys so I got my truck back together a couple weeks ago, ended up putting a new ford short block in and also did the upgraded valvesprings/ pushrods while I was in their... I've put about 800 miles on it and its been running amazing, gonna change the oil in the morning.. my question is should I be alright to throw the truck on the rollers tomorow? we have a local dyno day and I'd like to see what it does

If it's got coolant temp one time it's good lol

so theirs isn't much of a break in period on these new diesels? seating rings main bearings/ seals?

Im sure with 800 miles youve done plenty of heat cycling.... run it

Ive never worried about break in. Fire it up, build oil psi, give it a once over, operating temperature and then flog the pis out of it. Havent had any issues that way. If iys going to break, its gonna break regardless.

I have always heard if you pussy foot it around in a break in period, it wont run as strong...dont know if thats true or not.

Seating the rings happens almost instant after the engine has had some load through it.
Like everyone else, you will be fine. I had 150 miles on my dually when I latched onto 18000# over the hills and that was more of a load than the dyno will put on you.
Roller engine break in for me.
Start engine, verify oil pressure, once over for leaks, warm up, back out, drive till into a 3rd or 4th gear then gradually get into the throttle till full watching oil pressure, torque break till stopped, hammer it. Engine good.
