'53 full press 235

Just started it for the first time after overhaul
Started very first crank, actually ran great,
but I only let it run for about 10 sec.

could someone direct me to a post (I saw somewhere) concerning 1st eng run after overhaul.
It said something like run at +/- 1200 rpm for about 15 min. ...??

Thanks, Jim

The first question to you would be does it have a new camshaft because they require a specific breakin routine.
