Subject:      Re: HELP ME!!! I pulled my pistons but forgot to mark my
              sleeves!!!!!!!!!!! Does it matter which way the cylinder sleeves
              go back in?? What if I interchanged them. I noticed that they are
              stamped on the sided in increments. Some kind of ID on each on
              But then there are then there is one digit that goes in
              increments (22..24..26..28 ) for each cylinder. I did honed the
              glazed out of the cylinders because I'm re-ringing them...So What
              should I do.???? GOD help ME PLEASE!!!!

Don't forget that all the little arrows on the pistons points towards the
flywheel. If you have hydraulic lifters set them to one turn from just
touching.

***************[ Engine break in]******************
Install 20/50 Wt engine oil, new oil filter.
Run the engine at 2000 RPMs for about twenty minutes. It will take a
while for the lifters and everything to settle in so you'll have noise,
smoke and stink.
Change the oil and filter after this 20 minute run in.
Drive the vehicle at 2000 RPMs or less for 200 miles. Change the oil,
filter and clean the strainer.
Install 20/50 wt oil.
Drive the vehicle another 600 to 800 miles keeping the engine at less
than 2000 RPMs and change the oil and filter again.
You should check your lifter setting at this time and check for any oil
leaks.
After you've got this break in done you should wait about 5000 to 8000
miles before you go onto the higher quality synthetic oils.
