Engine break in without a tachometer

Righty Tighty said

Thanks for all the input. I do have a tach/dwell meter, and I suppose hooking that up would be just as easy as temporarily hooking up the tach I have. And honestly I didn't even think about temporarily hooking up the tach until you guys mentioned it.



Rusty, this sounds like I'm gonna need someone to start it for me while I'm at the engine with the timing light - a two man job. Is that right?

Unless you have a remote starter switch......as you should already own doing this type work.

AND IF YOU GET ONE.......be ESPECIALLY CAREFUL because using a remote starter switch can KILL THE **** OUT OF YOU. Since it completely bypasses any type of neutral safety or starter bypass circuit, it can crank in ANY gear selection and in gear with a manual OR automatic......so BE SURE she's in neutral. We've grown to love you around here and we'd hate to see a RightyTighty sammich. That would SUCK.
