Hopefully he wasn't only using on me.... I digress...

yes. used at least THIS time, I saw on faces of lifters.

Locked at ~1/2 turn after zero turn of pushrods (not solid lifters, so no lash).

NOT run in at 20min this time.... I drove it. City drive; variable rpm, but mostly around 2000-2500 at 40mph for at least 20 min. Expressway allowed that. I babied it. Still may have done damage; TBD.

Its certainly quieter, but there's a history here, and I sense it may be repeating soon... But, wondering if I should dump oil (retain some for readings), put break in oil back in, run stationary cam break in procedure, then drive. At this point, I think I have to drive, I'll get into full rebuild history later. (NOS service block; gone through, etc, etc)
