It has not run too long. I have been spending a lot of time trying to tune it (I am new to HIFs). Most of it's running time has been idling with about a dozen short runs around the college parking lot (It's a college project.). As soon as I get plates on the car I will go ahead and break in the rings (8 to 10 times going 30-50-30 mph on the throttle right?). The cam was broken in and so far I have not noticed any problems in that area. I adjusted the valves right after the test and all were in the .015-.017 range. A little tight, but not excessively so.
