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.

Start Fresh with a Drop-In Replacement Crate Engine
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. These vehicles introduced the L31 5.7L small block featuring Vortec cylinder heads that were developed for maximum power and efficiency. Producing up to 255 hp in factory spec, this engine can also be retrofitted into an older car with a performance carburetor to produce up to 290 hp.
