My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

[RAMurphy]

Well done! Time to update your sig

You are correct and I will update after break in and final tune from Black Bear.

Very nice! Remember to break it in properly! Is WOT pulls something that should be done during break in? I am asking because I am breaking in myself.

I will be taking a conservative approach to my break in. You are correct no WOT during initial break in. I plan to change the oil in a few more miles. Then again at 500 miles from the initial oil change. Then again at 1500 miles. From there standard oil changes.

Do you have a link for those hoses and fittings you used on that catch can setup?

They are Evil Energy AN6 Hoses, fittings and hose clamps. I will say the AN6 hose was a tight fit but I made it work - just took a bit of elbow grease and some extra force. I ordered some AN8 hose and fittings for the catch can on the passenger side catch can. I will post on this build thread if this is a better size. I don’t have link with me at this time, but will post once I get home. Shop around to get the best price. I used both Amazon and summit racing.

My engine booklet says first one at 500 miles then again at 5K then I can switch over to full synthetic after that.

That is what both of my build book also states. Like I said, I’m going conservative. When I started this venture and working with Texas Speed about my rotating assembly I purchased from them, his recommendation was to go the conservative route. After the money I put in this build, an extra oil change will not break the bank.

Hit 700 miles on the new engine. Absolutely love this upgrade. Changed the oil yesterday. All looking good. Pushed it a little harder today. Spun the wheels taking off and again when hitting second gear. Squawked the tires when hitting third. This thing moves.

AN 8 hose and fittings (hose clamps) work great.

Installing a passenger side catch can. I will post pictures when I complete this upgrade.

Very good news! Sounds like fun!

I thought the PS was the clean side and no need for a catch can there?
