so you rebuild an engine and start it for the first time on a dyno? What about running it in? isn't it bad for it not to do so? looks and sounds great though! nice job! I bet it still smells petrol in your bedroom. lol take care

@SpikeCvH Not sure what you mean by "running it in" , but we did prime the oil system, used break in oil and we did a proper break in procedure on the dyno before we made power pulls

Nice motor and props for building it in your bedroom.How did you get it out of the house and to the engine bay of a car?

[chuckhole78]

@TheCHEVYNATOR Me my roomate and two buddies carried it out of the house and put it in the back of my suburban backed up to the door. Got it to the dyno where it thankfully was a cherry picker from there

@rcmad121 Since I paid 875 for the top end kit that sells for 3000, I did pretty good. The entire build cost was just over 3900, that includes every dollar I spent, including machine work,all of the components and fasteners, plugs & wires, break in oil, paint and even a $480 trip to the engine dyno. After all of that it turned out that a more powerful 383 stroker crate motor could be purchased for a little less than I paid to build.Though its cool to pop the hood and say "I built that"!

@jthorne88 Its not the building it in the bedroom part that was tough, but the getting it out of there when it was fully assembled, that was a trick. Me, my roomate and 2 friends were able to carry it out and put it in the truck and take it to the dyno. That video is also pretty sweet. Have a good one

@jdubcbr600 So do about 90% of the parts you would need a warranty on if you put it together yourself...

You sleep in the Dyno Cell. You must be French.
