Doesn't apply directly, but always amazed me. Used to drive for a medium size bus company, & this is the way machinist did his. Detroit 8v71 diesels. Tommy had a test stand for assembling his rebuilds. Used a 55 gallon barrell for radiator, pressurize the fuel & oil systems, so they would fire up on second turn. Run at fast idle,750 rpm, til water started to warm up, check for leaks & strange noises. Then grab throttle & run up to 2200 for 5 minutes. Look for flying loose parts. If it held together it was a good one, make final tune-up adjustments & install engine in bus. Put in service on the long run. Minneapolis to Laredo or ElPaso round trip with shut down for fuel, check oil & fresh driver. Maybe 10 different drivers on first trip. Change oil when it got back. His engines were always good for 750,000 miles before they started to get tired. Had one fail on the test stand early in his 30+ year carreer, no road failures. Willie J, stage coach driver-retired
