• If replacing a pre-1987 (2-piece rear main seal) engine, a new external balance flexplate/flywheel for 1987-Up style engines will be required. This engine will also require a passenger side dipstick (1980-Up vehicles). A driver's side dipstick will not work (Pre-1979).  This engine has provisions for a mechanical fuel pump.
• Requires Premium Fuel with 91+ octane 

Engine Break-In Procedure

Use or break-in oil or conventional (non-synthetic) 10w30 oil with zinc additive for the first 500 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. It is best to avoid long periods of idling during this period. Check the engine oil and coolant levels daily. 

Engines with flat tappet hydraulic cams only - Run the engine between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM's, with no-load on the engine for the first 30 minutes. Let the engine cool down completely and repeat the process 2-3 more times. Do not idle the engine for an extended period at this time, this is critical to break-in the camshaft.

At 500 Miles change the engine oil and filter using conventional (non-synthetic) oil with a zinc additive. Check fuel and ignition settings, adjust valves (where applicable).  Drive the next 500 miles normally, without high RPM's (below 5000 RPM), hard use, or extended periods of high loading or long periods of idling.

Change the oil and oil filter again at 1,000 miles. Continue using conventional (non-synthetic) oils and zinc additive, until about 4,000 miles. At that point, you may run a quality 10w30 synthetic oil if you choose. The use of oil with zinc or a zinc additive for the life of your engine is recommended.
