    ok so this is for all you guys who rebuild motors, my 350 chevy had been setting in a field, for 19 years, here is my question?, I have rebuilt the motor, but I have not turned it over, finally, yesterday I was able to do that, I have set the valves before doing this, should I go back and reset them, now that they are pumped up. let me know what I should do before trying to fire it over, thanks

    Set the valves at a 1/2 turn pre-load and fire that sucker off for break in. That does have a hydraulic cam right?
