To Register your BluePrint Engines Limited Warranty, go to www.BluePrintEngines.com and complete the registration form
as soon as your engine is installed. With proper installation, break-in and maintenance, you can look forward to years of
trouble-free performance.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION
NOTE: DO NOT use synthetic oil during the break-in period!!! It is not recommended, required, or necessary.
For your engine’s first 500 miles, avoid hard acceleration for sustained periods. Periodically change the engine speed while
driving to help seat the rings. After the first 500 miles, change the oil and the oil filter.
Since the LS is a Roller cam engine, you are not required to run an oil with zinc. A standard 10W30 is all that is required.
If you are running without catalytic converters installed, you may also use BPP10W30 crate engine oil. This does contain zinc,
which is not detrimental to the engine, but can clog catalytic converters over long periods of time.
BluePrint Engines does not find the use of synthetic oils to be necessary or beneficial. If you must run synthetic, it is only
advised after 9,000 miles and only on roller cam engines. Synthetic oils by composition are thin and “slicker” than fossil oils.
They tend to increase leaks and can promote improper break-in. Please take this into consideration before changing to a
synthetic oil.

FIVE HUNDRED MILE BREAK-IN
n Do NOT use synthetic oil during the break-in period!!
Even after break-in, synthetic oil is NOT required, and
not necessary for BluePrint Engines. If you must run a
synthetic, please wait 9,000 Miles.
n During the break-in period, check all fluid levels
frequently.
n Recheck external bolts that may loosen with use or
heat cycles, such as intake manifold, headers/exhaust,
front accessories, etc.
n Change the oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles, or 3-4
months if not driven regularly. If your engine is used
in a heavy duty or dusty environment, the oil and oil/
air filters should be changed more frequently.
n In colder regions, lower viscosity oil may be required for
better flow characteristics.
n Use premium gasoline as recommended for your engine
at www.BluePrintEngines.com.
MAINTENANCE
, or
Every BluePrint Engine comes with YOUR Dyno sheet! That's the BluePrint Engines Dyno Promise! If you misplace or can’t
locate your sheet, contact our service department with your engine's serial number and we will gladly provide it for you.
(Serial numbers are six digits and located on the block.) Every BluePrint Engine shipped with an oil pan and cylinder heads
is dyno tested. We then do multiple pulls on the dynamometer to determine and record the torque and horsepower readings
over a range of RPM readings to ensure your engine meets or exceeds its design specifications. We monitor critical temps,
oil pressure, AFR, leak inspection, and perform a comprehensive oil filter and oil analysis test. The crankcase is then drained
and your engine is approved and prepared for shipping.
