[QUOTE="jp8775, post: 129392, member: 20329"] I guess your right, but I come out of drag racing. We ran engines on test stands for lots of reasons, leaks is one. Is 6 hours some thing from the manua? I was of the understanding that you get the engine up to temp for 10 min and then retorque the heads? I was also told that from a dealer? If they replace a head or gastket they are not going to pay an employee to run the machine for 6 hours or make the customer return it to the dealer after 6 hours. My understanding is the gasket is in real danger of failing until its retorqued? Does any one know where the break in procedure is after a rebuild or head gastket replacement? I am just not sure. I was an auto mechanic for Cadillac and we retorqued head bolts aftera a 1/2 hour run on such repairs on both gas and diesel enginges. I also would like to show the rebuilt engines I have running in a video to potential buyers. I also have adapters for the V2203 to a 743. That I will sell with the engines I have. [/QUOTE]
