Or is there another way?!

only a genral intrest question!!

Yes, as soon as the engines fired up the engine is taken to and held at 2500 rpm.
Believe it or not, this is easier on the engine than idle speed. Idle is quite a stressfull area for an engine to run at as the valve train acceleration is very low and oil pressure is at its lowest.

Hope this helps.
thanks alot stu! as said was just a genral intrest question!

I am looking into gettin a rebuild myself soon! (just got some bills to pay )

only thing is people quote prices but only one place i seen so far quotes a drive in drive out price which to be honest i think everyone wants! just no one quotes them prices! understandably full engine rebuilds are a very intermite thing and prices all depend on what the customer wants power wise and part wise!

But having a guide price (i think most will agree) of just a basic rebuild would be nice!
