Default Break in and Beehive springs
Any opinions on how long a new valve train needs to be run in before the inner springs are returned?
I fired up my 427 today ( I'm still grinning ) and ran it on a startup stand for almost 30 minutes on the outer set of springs only. Does the engine need to be run under load before I put the inner springs back in or is the time on the startup stand enough.
Cam is a Comp Cams 282s with solid lifters and Dove roller rockers. I'm not in a hurry but don't want to let it go too long either.
Thanks in advance.
