Engine Break-In Procedure
Use conventional or break-in oil (non-synthetic) for the first 600 miles of operation. Do not drive for long periods at any single speed, always vary your speed. Do not tow a trailer or put other heavy loads on the vehicle. Check the engine oil and coolant levels daily.
At 600 Miles change the engine oil and filter using conventional (non-synthetic) oil. Check fuel and ignition settings; adjust valves (where applicable).
After the first 5,000 of service synthetic engine oil may be used. Follow your vehicle owner’s manual for service intervals.

JEGS crate engines are reverse engineered to create a product that has better-than-new quality. Reverse engineering allows any factory original defect to be found and removed; saving you time and money by keeping your vehicle out of the shop and on the road. Engines are factory checked after assembly to ensure proper operation. JEGS crate engines feature a 36 month/unlimited mileage warranty. This engine was designed as a direct replacement for 1996-2000 Chevy & GMC pickups, SUV's, and van applications.

Are these heads able to accept 1.6 roller rockers without modification? I’m trying to get a little more lift out of the cam, but want to make sure the pushrods won’t rub on the cylinder heads.
What are the head and cam specs? I am looking for the size of the runners in the heads.
Are these new or re-manufactured blocks and parts? If i use this in place of a 305 will i have to replace the computer?? and the injectors???
Part# 059-0282 can u install higher cam and lifers and how much more it's going to be price wise
