Question 900 miles on the clock ...

... of the 3.0L rebuild and the car runs great! (now that I have the timing set). So far so good; no leaks, no smoke, NO oil consumption. Please remind me when I need to:

1) re-torque the heads
2) adjust valves

For some reason I'm thiinking 1500 miles but was not sure.

thanks.

1500 mi. for checking valve clearances is correct, but you should re-torque the head now. I would have done it after 500 miles...

Best regards,
