Piston ring/engine break in procedure

[Lonestar10]

i beleive hagg has his rods sent out to a shop to be remanned i think they are shotpeened to strengthen them and remove any defects. new head as waterloo says comes in big box reman in skinny the new ones box is made of sturdy plywood you could jump ontop of it drop is off the truck whatever it wont break whereas a reman comes in a box that might just implode if you look at it wrong.

otherwise just replace all the replaceable parts with OEM new parts where possible.
