i've got the idle at 900. do you think i should have more than 10 then? if you had 10 with the stage 2 i would think that i would have a little more.

I see about 10 with my stage 2 as well. Try turning your idle up to 1000 and see if it comes up any.

about how long will it take for the rings to seat in good. i have been getting blowby ever since i first started it. you can feel air coming out the oil filer tube farely good and also out of the pcv line. is this normal for awhile? i hope it is.

Depends on the finish hone - the rings usually seat within 1 hr of running..
Ian
i've definately got more time on it then that. probably about 3 hours total. you think i might have something else wrong. i know i got the rings in right and the ring end gaps were at .018" so i don't think i have a problem there. whats the best way to determine if its the heads or rings doing it?

well they finally seated in after 380 miles. from what i have read, chrome-moly rings take longer to seat in. i still wouldn't have thought that it would have been 380 miles though. ohh well she's running pretty good now, guess thats all that matters. now time to start fine tunning her. i have the timing at about 7 degrees right now and she's running alittle bit rich. going to take the timing to 10 and lean her out alittle bit, see how she likes that.
