I let my new engine with a 224 cam warm up to full operating temperature before I even raise the tach over 1500 rpm. After all the cash I just spent, it's not worth it. I'll take the time. As far as longevity, I only have 1000 miles on it. I'm using ISKY 295 springs.

Why are you getting new rocker arms?

You guys let your cars get to full operating temperature before driving the things? Sheesh, talk about wasting gas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I get in my B1 cammed / Isky295D spring'd car, turn it on, pull out of the garage, and go. Yes, I keep it to under 4000 RPMs until the oil pressure drops (motor's warm), but there's no need to be ridiculous about it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hard to keep it to 2000 RPMs with 4.56 gears. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
