I'd say drive it soft for a week or till you put a few miles on it just to be safe. Those are expensive parts and I'm sure installation wasn't the easiest. I wouldn't want to risk that.

 

There are mixed opinions on properly seating the rings after installing the pistons new. Do more reading on this subject as there are plenty of opinions saying that you NEED to drive it hard at first.

 

yes so ive been reading, but i havent been driving like a grandma, 350 miles done, getting my arp headstuds soon so ill be taking the head off and checking it out and changing the oil to check for shavings and crap, heres some pictures, didnt take that many cuz i was kinda busy lolz






I knew people said our rods were skinny but daaamn!



And yes i want to get the thing properly dyno tuned

 

where did you end up buying your rods and pistons? those rods look nice. im not sure if RRM just used a generic picture for their rod pic but ive always preferred h-beam rods. idk where im going with this but the real question where did you buy the pistons and rods?

 

weisco???

 

they are wiseco pistons & crower rods... i think i still have the spec sheets somewhere.....
