1)  Someone descriped about breaking in the engine using a hill but I was
unable to find the information.  I would like to use a hill to break in
the
engine initially.  Could someone copy me on the information/procedure for
doing this?
-----------------
Jake Raby is your Hill Expert ............. he's in Georgia and has
hills, I'm in Texas I'd have to drive 500 miles to find a hill.

2)  With the new rebuilt engine, I would expect it not to accelerate as
it
used to.  What seems funny right now is that sometimes it appears to try
to
start out as if it were in 3rd gear rather than 1st gear (this is an 84GL
with a manual transmission).  It also acts as if it has no advance but I
would expect that this is the way it might act until it breaks in.  What
is
normal for a newly rebuilt engine?
--------------------
It should have plenty of power and be a little more noisy than a run in
motor.
