ok...I've never had real engine work done on my car before...I've always just done the regular bolt ons. So before everybody gets mad at me for sounding stupid I appologize. I just had some quotes done and I plan on taking the heads out of my engine and getting a Stage 2 Port/polish done and adding some aftermarket valve springs. I also plan on getting my VT Stage 2's sometime early next month (when they're available)...now to the question. Once the shop is done with my heads, and I've put everything back together, is there a break in procedure before I drive the car? I plan on taking it to get it tuned, but I'll drive it of course. What things should be done directly after an install of this kind? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
