Reman Motocraft 4.6 start-up recommendations
Thought I'd tap this knowledge reserve another time for your thoughts on initial start-up and break in procedures for a remanufactured engine.
Didn't receive much info with the engine and have been surfing the net looking for answers,
My engine came with the front timing covers installed so I must assume the timing is set properly. Do I just simply insert the cam and crank position sensors and the engine will adjust the timing just from these sensors?

I just put a new motor in my truck.
Break in I'm flowing.
Start engine,,let run 15 or 20 min.Turn off,change oil.
Run for 100 miles at varying RPMs,,never keeping a steady rpm for long distance.
Chang oil.
Run for 500 miles without running to high of rpm,,like try to keep it under 4000rpm.
Chang oil,,run however you want.
From what I understand,,after first 25 miles the ringes are set.
