Mark,
Your comment:- Finding someone that can build a motor that can't run is not all that hard to do.....
The definition of a motor is, I believe, something that can run. What I built here would be better described as a ring processing fixture.

It can mean that. It can also mean giving, imparting, or producing motion or action.

For example the initial turning torque my 383 Chevy short block builds usually runs around 18-20 lbs-ft when done in a conventional fashion. P

This seems high. Are you using a thick ring pack?
The 383's I've done measure about 10 lbs-ft
1/16 -1/16 - 3/16 with finish as per ring manufacturers and it's about what you are getting done my way for a street build. My cup car motor turned at about 6 lbs-ft but it gets difficult to be precise here as I don't have a torque wrench that would read accurately at this low figure.

To bad the original poster didn't know about this stuff before he built his ring processing fixture, he could have saved himself a ton of time and effort by just pouring in a bottle.

This has me thinking about a fixture to "precondition" toilet paper.
Why would you want to wipe with pre sh!tted tp?

Is this method a proven method?
Is this method a proven method used by others as well?

this would be important on a NASCAR restricted engine where every 1/2 HP counts but would it show up on a street driven engine ?? the auto factories do it to get 0.1 of a MPG on the govt. tests
