Is there any way for you to explain this to me? I assume you listen for the valve lash sound while moving SOI around?

I've only started the engine twice - once with CAC unhooked, and once with everything plumbed, ran for 5 minutes total to check for leaks. Once I get ready to go back to work, I'll try to find the closest, heaviest load I can, but I'd like to make sure it's safe to run first.

not without hearing it and listening it for yourself a few times while someone shows you what to listen for.
