    SBC breakin time

    Roller , Performance build , good stuff, built and broken in many street builds. Just unsure on hours wise, on a boat. Using conventional oil for break in. It's a big river I cruise it on, Thought i'd see what you folks thought about it . Had my share of flat tappets , PITA

    SBC breakin time

    Hello everyone, Hope all is well. I just rebuilt a 383 for my boat. My question is, How many hrs would you all consider before changing out the oil? Where I go takes about 3 hrs to complete the trip. Thank you.
