Engine break in without a tachometer

Hold the pickles, please!!

Hmm, a remote starter switch. Didn't think of that. And it looks like they're darn cheap, too. In any event, I think Pops will be around for the first start anyway, being a momentous occasion and all. I think I'll have him start it while I look under the hood.

I've done it by ear many times. Not rocket science, c'mon boys.

I'm sure it can be done successfully by ear, especially by an experienced mechanic and someone who's done it before. This is uncharted territory for me though.
