My 454 fe has been finished and run several times on a run stand and installed in the car . Much work to do before running it in the car. I have rotella 15/40w in it now, and I'm wondering if it's ok as break-in
oil.
The engine has a hyd roller cam, so lifter seating is noy an issue.
Oil pressure was 75# @ idle.
Even with the hyd roller lifters, I'm still getting some "ticking" up top. Pre-loaded lifters as per Comp instructiions. I'm worried about the roller tip rockers not rolling. (tip rollers were beat flat when I got the car with 478 mi on it) I had them rebuilt, of course.
I would like to be able to check things out with some cut-away valve covers so I could see whats going on with the engine running. Any ideas?
