Well, the other day I noticed my coolant was black-ish. Got it into the shop yesterday and turns out it's got a blown head gasket. We were planning on doing a overhaul this summer but looks like it's been moved up now.
The mechanic shop said it will take a week or so and will "be like new" when I get the truck back. I'm just wondering if there will be certain things I will need to do. Certain speeds, rpms etc... until the engine is "broke in"?

Guess I didn't know that it mattered how you treat a newly rebuilt engine depending on the make. I figured it was the same across the board. -
I looked at that Pittsburgh Power website but didn't see anything about how to treat an engine after a rebuild. Did a search there but came up empty handed.

I just now when I rebuilt my 360 in my jeep and the LT 1 in the Camaro I had we did certain things when it was 'fresh'. Didn't know if a diesel was the same or not.
I figure to talk to the shop guys when I go pick it up but in the mean time I was just curious.
