Stove 'Bolter S Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 325 Saskatchewan, Canada	I understand that a rebuilt engine is supposed to run at 2000 rpms for 20 minutes upon start-up. However I don't have a tach. Is a tach required, or can I just guess? Or is there some other way to judge 2000 rpms? 1952 Canadian GMC Pickup Truck Photobucket
