I appreciate your time spent on this as well as everyone else's. I'm not going to lie about my break in procedure so get ready to yell at me. I let the car run at about 2000 rpms for about a half hour or more. I then ran it like that again for about 20 minutes before my brother, who helped me with the rebuild, said "Lets take it for a spin". Out on the nearby country road we went with open headers ablaze. We did dog it a little in the beginning until I got my brother to smile. He had been very depressed lately after his wife passed away several months ago and it was the first time I saw him smile and actually laugh a little. Whatever I may have damaged at the time in the ring breaking in department was worth it to me. After that I would take the car on about a 40 mile drive going at various speeds. I think that I have about 400-500 miles on the engine right now.. I live in the country and was going in town later today to get the rubber tipped air nozzle so if that is my next step I'll be testing around 5:30. I hope I can hear what I need to and narrow this down. The thought of having to take the head off and dealing with those headers again really urks me but I will do what I need to do. Step by step with you good folks helping me will hopefully help other in the future.
