How long does it take to break in a new set of rings? After breaking a piston I have decided to replace the one piston and all of the rings. The motor had a fresh rebuild and only 37000 on the clock. I can still see the cross hatch from the honeing (sp). These rings are not chromed. Will I have any problems breaking these in? I saw some posts of people not recomending new rings in an old block. Saw some who dont have a problem either. I had planned on using 30wt. Can I pre oil by spinning the motor with the starter and no plugs.
I have motor assembly lube for the bearings but should I pull the lifters and put some on the cam too. I am not doing anything to thoes. Does this stuff go on any moving part like pushrods and rockers too?
What about the con rod caps, do these nuts need locktite on them? The FSM says to pin them but there are no holes and never were.
Thanks for the help. Its my first time doing this.
