New ARP rod bolts and crank journals machined. Stock rods. New bearings. In case anyone was wondering.
Spark plugs were a bit sooty, definitely did not run lean, I raised the float level in the carb to fatten it up a hair for the break-in. I never put the engine under load, just ran it in park.
No foreign particles in oil, very little fine stuff got stuck on a magnet as expected, and a couple of tiny flakes of paint. Nothing solid or hard. No bearing shavings. I'll drop the oil pan and take a look. Shit. It's a pain in the ass to remove in my car.
