OK

It's in.

Any recommendations on Break In for the first few miles ?

I was planning on changing oil & filter after 100 miles to remove any garbage from the machining and rebuild.

Everything was replaced.

New pistons .020 over
New cam - stock
New head

Ready to go another 140 K.

Damn, dude, I'm not a big fan of gold unless it's on a John Player F1 car or in my safe... but that looks good. Really good.
