Thanks. I did look up all the advice on the internet for Corvairs. I'll take it around the block for about 10 miles drain and refill oil, then on the highway for the next set. Really just need the rings and cam lifters to settle in. I'm using 10-30.

 Block not opened. New pistons, rings, con rod bearings, valves, lifters etc. Pistons and con rods balanced. iron rings +60. 
 It has run at 1500 for about 15 min and sounds OK, 35 lbs oil pressure. I want more advice for the 100 mile break in run. Oil and filter changed after that.
