[quote=“Nave”] > [@S14\_240sx](#): > > A high-rpm engine condition in which the valve lifters lose contact with the cam lobes because the valve springs are not strong enough to overcome the momentum of the various valve train components.

sasha,are you planning just to run it on a dyno to break it in, or to tune it as well? If break-in is the only purpose, perhaps a e-test roller set would work, i’m sure you could finda little shop that would let you just run the car for a couplehours. Now they don’t put a load on the car, so not sure if it’dwork, but it’s a cheeper idea. ---

Pretty sure it needs a load, I remember reading this in the other thread on breaking in engines. ---

when you do everything yourself its cheap. Basically it works out like this: pistons - 500 head gasket - 200 customs rapes you, so thats another 120 hang pistons on rods - 75 tank deck bore and hone - 200 main bearings - 60 rod bearings - 60 vavle stem seals - 50 so just over 1000$ to have a basically brand new engine (if I dont screw up the re-assembly!) with stronger pistons and headgasket. You could even lower the cost if you just went with stock pistons (free in my case) and a new oem headgasket (like 50$) my racing slicks fund keeps getting destroyed by various things that keep coming up and its sad ☹ i want to go raicng at mosport ---
