The return

Well...

finally I will have my cutty back. She just came down from the lift and after some work my mechanic finally got her started and she purrs like a cat in heat. I can pick it up tomorrow.

What distance do you guys recommend I travel on this rebuilt engine before I start letting her loose?

Any precautions I should take with this re-built engine?

 

I can't wait to re-enter the driving force as an oldsmobile owner once again :D

I'd say that the standard engine break in rules apply.

 

Change oil with regular oil after 500 and then 1000 miles, then I'd go, staged mind you, into a full synthetic. Drive it under a lot of different stresses, lightly, wot, just don't be real hard on it.

I always run mobile one from the very first starting of the engine, till the day I sell the car. make sure while you're still in your brake in period, and after the engine has been running for a good 30 or so minutes of highway driving, that you take her up to redline a couple times, people say this is bad, but what it will do is raise your ringlands, and keep the possability of oil burning later in life to a minimum.
