Let's say you are just braking in a new cam with matching lifters. Do you suggest you still run the break in oil for the 500 miles before changing the oil and filter? Even though the rings and bearings are already "warn in" Edit: Also, when soaking the new lifters, am I to assume soaking them in the breaking oil too? I plan on using Amsoil break-in oil.

@@johnnyturbo8460 your challenge isn’t going to be in the break in oil. It’s going to be in all the other factors that play into a successful break in. But yes to your question. Run the break in oil for the first few hundred miles. Won’t hurt anything in an already broken in engine. Keep watching the series. There’s a lot that’s covered of where people make the biggest mistakes.

I was curious myself and purchased one. I installed it out of box before I take it apart so I can see how it performed straight from China. It started right up. Appeared to run ok sitting in the shop. Drove it…..not worth a crap. Took it apart and found exactly what you did. Mine had one float cracked with only a 1/4 mile on it. Lol what a pile. Oh, I forgot to mention the butterfly screws were loose, waiting for your valve and piston.

People also dont realize for example the 600 Edelbrock electric assist choke is set from factory for fuel economy while the 600 manual choke carb is set from factory for performance . also I use the vaccum guage to see what the vaccum number is = say 17 then divid by 2 . what the number ends up being is what colored springs you use from the carb tuning kit

My 350 Chevy has no baffles in the valve covers. So....the pcv valve hooked to the carb pees oil into the carb and smokes. Makes it run horrible. So in my situation without changing the valve covers, I just put the pcv valve connected to a drain hose. It goes to the ground. Problem is I have to add oil every other week. Now, my pcv is stuck and I'm getting leaks from odd places. One is at the timing chain cover at the 12 o clock bolt. I took it out and fixed it and no longer leaks ...but....now my timing chain bolt at the 2 o'clock is leaking. Can a pcv really create that much pressure to cause these kind of leaks?

@MuscleCarSolutions It's a brand new rebuild. Runs great and has for the last 4k miles. Leaks came out of no where and when I shook the pcv....it was stuck.
