I'm in the process of having a 455 CID engine, purchased from a GMC owner, rebuilt. The machine shop is very close to completing the rebuild. Searching the Forum and GMCMI, I found information on engine rebuilds, limited information regarding the break-in process, and virtually no information on "how does one know when the engine break-in process is complete?"
Would appreciate your thoughts and comments on the recommended break-in process and "when is the engine break-in complete?"
Thanking you in advance for your inputs!
