OK, Just got back from putting on the first 60 miles of break in, constantly changing RPM and babying her. So I tryed an Easy "roll on" To test her out and it was more of "rip on". It wants to jump up to 3 grand and then multiply after that. I stopped at a friends house and let it sit 10 min. When I cranked it hot, you could not even hear the starter it cranked so effortlessly. After about 500 mi it should be the lil monster.

My Indy talked me into a Ev27 with bearing's, instead of the w6. He said we can go bigger later if I like. New stock lifters, Crane adj pushrods, Dyna s igniter and coil,
heads were ported & flowed with lgr valves and springs, Milled the heads dn a bit, Went 10 over bore with 10/1 Cr pop up Weisco's, S&S E carb kit, fresh wrinkle Blk paint on the jugs & heads. Total cost of build $3000.

Sorry Joe, I did not have time to video today. Right now he has the carb running rich for break in so the final tune at 500 mi will be the real deal. Ill try to do a garage vid tomorrow because it's suppose to rain all day. So I put 60 miles on it today and will change the oil & filter tomorrow before any more miles. I use dyno 20/50 for break in's. My Indy does not like SYN ever.

Why would you use synthetic oil to break in a motor?
