I have never seen an EFI car do an actual "wash down" Always thought that was a carb thing from leaking primaries and such.

up with a mighty thirty pounds of compression in each cylinder! I just know that shortly there is going to be one of those Doh Momentsand see if it fires
When you put oil or trans fluid on top of the ring it acts as a seal. look up wet compression testing this is not some far fetched practice. it is the correct way to test for bad rings, other than a leak down of course. i am going to use it as a way to get enough compression to fire the engine and retry the break in. if it does not work i will then rebuild again.up with a mighty thirty pounds of compression in each cylinder!

That is possible that the wrong rings, i bought the pistons as a kit and used the rings supplied.

pour a cap full in each cylinder and crank it over with all the plugs out... The stuff works.. How exactly, now thats the mystery part!How exactly did you do that?
i checked ptv with stock pistons it was a no go with the new heads so i broke it down and balanced the assembly with new sealed power pistons hyperutectic .030 over... heafs are ported gt40s with a new valve job and 2.02 valves e303 cam and 1.72 rr. port matched cobra lower and upper ported for 75mm tb. 32 lb injectors feom cyote motor lightning maf and sct tune. i have done the injector leak down test. they passed. during build i shimmed the rockers. i even did the leakdown test with the rockers off the head.
