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.

Chevrolet Performance's COPO crate engines are engineered for NHRA's Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes, offering sportsman racers a range of factory-developed-and-assembled racing engines. This COPO LT crate engine is the same engine offered exclusively in the 2016-2017 COPO Camaro race cars. The COPO LT is a high-power blend of the latest technologies and proven horsepower-building elements. It builds on the strength of the LT 6.2L engine found in the production Corvette Stingray and Camaro SS, and adds a very hot camshaft, an all-forged rotating assembly, CNC-ported heads and a Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold similar to the one on the COPO 427. It all adds up to high-rpm horsepower for low ET's. Chevrolet Performance engineers design and test all crate engines with the same methods used to develop production engines, ensuring their performance and durability. Each engine is hand-assembled in a specialty build facility.
