Rebuilds take like i think around 5k or something to break in.. So go easy on it...

They need to building up compression before you will start seeing any power.

test the injectors are working properly, and make sure all fuel lines are correctly fitted

If the motor wasn't producing enough compression it wouldn't start. A certain degree of compression is neccasary to even get a motor to run. It takes time for the apex seals to seat (the purpose of a break in) but the lack of power he's describing should in no way be influenced by a break-in period.

btw, you don't need a 5k mile break in, 1500 miles at most.
