Engine Break-In Procedure

Use only engine oil that meets dexos1 specifications. For track events or competitive driving, use Mobil 1 15W-50 engine oil. Fill the engine with oil and follow the proper engine priming procedure. Also check and fill as required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.

Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If no unusual noises are noted, run the engine at approximately 1000 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached. The engine should be driven at varying loads and conditions for the first 30 miles or one hour without wide open throttle (WOT) or sustained high RPM accelerations. Run five or six medium throttle (50%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear. Run two or three hard throttle (WOT 100%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear.

Change the engine oil and filter. Inspect the oil and the oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning properly. Drive the next 500 miles (12 to 15 engine hours) under normal conditions. Do not run the engine at its maximum rated engine speed. Also, do not expose the engine to extended periods of high load. Change the oil and filter again, inspect the oil and oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning properly.

Fuel-Injected Ferocity for Performance Cars of All Ages

The Chevrolet Performance LS376/525 6.2L LS3 Engine is what do you get when you take Chevrolet's aggressive ASA camshaft, developed for the high-RPM world of circle track, and slip it into an LS3 crate engine. This 525 horsepower monster is one of their most powerful production-based crate engines, the new LS376/525! The ASA cam is a hydraulic roller that helps the engine deliver excellent throttle response and breathe exceptionally well at high RPM. For durability, they complement the cam with higher-rate valve springs to add stability to the valvetrain. This simple yet effective combination has an edge to it.

You'll notice it in the idle quality and you'll feel it when the revs quickly climb. With 20 more horsepower than the larger-displacement LS7, it's definitely not for the timid!
