@@RandyClassicCarsFan While I happen to agree with you, that wasn't what I meant. I am referring to the initial start break in. Camshaft / ring seating/ ETC. Break in period of 2000 rpm for 20 minutes. On these old flat tappet camshaft motors it is very critical and you must use a high zinc oil to do so or you have a flat cam and metal in your new bearings.

But now, I’m the one working on all the cars. The skills I learned cannot be measured.

[@BigThree4Ever]

I used to visit with an older gentleman at an assisted living home. He told me he would use a beer to adjust timing and the carbs. He'd pour a beer into a glass and set it on the engine, and when the beer stopped foaming up from engine vibrations everything would be adjusted properly.
