[QUOTE]Originally posted by TheBrain: [QB] When I got my 331 running, I let it idle @ 1500 rpm 'til the t-stat opened. Shut it off, changed the oil and took it straight to Lake Tahoe. Had some guy in an LS1 that kept pacing me in between Vallejo and Fairfield, so I downshifted into 3rd gear and ran it up to about 6600 rpm with less than 10 miles on it :D Broke it in the same way I drive it and it gave me 52K trouble free miles until the little N.O.S problem on the dyno. At that time there was still nothing wrong with the short block, but I put new bearings and rings in it since it was already out to fix an oil leak Good Luck Brian [/QB][/QUOTE]
