New SHORTBLOCK. Break-in advice???

[jw33]

What do you think i should do?

Get on the internets and ask a bunch of mostly clueless assholes what to do instead.

You should not do what the shop told you to do.

Hey guys last month on September 16 I went through deep water. I have a JLT cold air intake that went all the way down to my passenger fender (shop cut it shorter since). The engine sucked in enough water to bend all the valves.

Luckily, insurance covered it (I didn't have the $5,874 for repairs) and I got a brand new shortblock and the shop refinished my heads.

I was instructed to break it in for 1,000 miles after they added break-in oil.

They suggested to baby it and keep the engine under 4,000rpms, but the engine feels MUCH more powerful than before it got water damage so I have got on it a few times but NEVER over 4,500.

Do you guys have any advice for this? I wanna see what this new block can do as soon as I can.

The shop that built your engine gave their advice. Why are you asking us?
