disputed rebuild breakin procedures
Ok guys I recently hit the 1000 mile mark on my rebuild and am deciding if its time to change the oil again or not. Every builder and every site says somethign diffferent. I changed it at 100(by accident, dont ask) and 500 so far. So should i do it at 1000, 1500 and 2000 or just 2000?
Also what is the appropriate time to increase revs. i recently have been letting myself slide up to 5k but now i read a few guides that say dont pass 4k till after 2000. Whats right?, whos done what and did their engine blow up? Can I get some solid answers.

I generally say, oil and filter change at 1/2 hour and 1K miles. Then normal oil changes after that, but you should ask the shop that did your rebuild. They will have a recommendation based on what they replaced.
and as far as RPM, if there are new housings, you should be using the whole RPM range.
