MANUEL GOMEZ Jun 15th, 99, 6:50 PM When you install a new cam or a new engine you are always told to break in the cam before you drive it but I was wondering if Chevrolet ever broke in any of there cams/engines before the car made it to the showrooms ? there were alot of higher solid lift cammed moters that came off the assembly line did anybody break those in? just a thought? Manuel #23 gold Fred Aldrich Jun 15th, 99, 6:59 PM I believe that, by the 60's, all engines were hot tested by the engine plant to set timing and inspect for oil leaks. ------------------ Fred Aldrich Web Site: www.GeoCities.com/~69_chevelle (http://www.GeoCities.com/~69_chevelle) 67ss Jun 16th, 99, 6:43 PM They were actually fired on natural gas at the assembly plant.For the reasons Fred stated. ------------------ John 67SS ACES #2887 TC #127 Larry Jun 17th, 99, 6:37 AM They still test fire engines on nat gas, and just like today, they didn't do a true break-in. | ||
