Tuning before break in procedure

[Germy]

Do I have time to get the timing light and adjust dizzy and carb before cam break in? Or do I just get it started and keep it between 2-2500 rpm for 25-30 minutes(comp cam video)

IMO, I would time it, ypu don't want it way out of time for 30 min.
As for the carb. I wouldn't worry as you will be off the idle circet anyway.

Ran good till the oil started leaking. Bump in the road

when i did mine i got it started, my cam was 6 degrees..easy enough to eyeball...I just dropped the same carb on so when running i used the idle screw and my DVOM as rpm gauge...and just went up/down between recommended rpms for the 30 min....it started to melt the exhaust hose in the shop by the end

It just seems extreme, that motor will be hot as hell. I'm putting a big fan on the radiator next time

2500 rpm for 30 min. not moving inside a shop! yeah it gets hot. but the gauge wasnt reading hot, just the tailpipe!
