so How do you know when your motor is ready to run?
I built my motor over last winter with eagle rods, full line of arp studs, srp pistons on a 9:1 ratio acl bearings etc etc...
My motor has over 7000 miles on it N/A(Driven 120 Miles Daily) it has stayed NA so long while ive been building my setup... Now My car is turbo and will be running within the next week or two.
Ive read several Horror stories for guys and their motors... I feel Mine is not one of those, but Whats some good indications of a well built engine?
I did my compressioon test and its an even number 180 Not a psi More/Less In all 4 cylinders. Oil has no sludgeing.. engine runs quietly with no valvetrain noise..etc
What Else should I look for before i start up?
-Noob getting boost cold feet

you seem good to go. I never have broke in a motor just on dyno but thats me. As long as compression/leakdown #'s are good and close to each other. I say have fun boosting. Just get a good tune.
