He only had 1% variance in all cylinders after breaking in his motor. Awesome

Re: it's a 1% er!!! (JDMH22HATCH)
Exactly which "Break-in" procedure did you use?? The "gentle" one that lasts 500-1K miles, or the "find a hill, throw it in 4th and put a load on it after a 20 minute idle right after initial startup"??

Re: it's a 1% er!!! (NXSpoon)
im about to put in new pistons and rods with new rings, what is the proper break in method?
pistson are JE 9:1 compression
rods are eagle rods
also how do you perform a leak down test?

i dont believe there is a proper break in method... everyone has a diffent opinion on the proper way. About a year ago i remember reading a long *** thread on this.

2K miles is good, drive like granda, always let it idle.
I don't want to say use conventional, because everyone has there own opinion. But I would say break in with Castrol GTX 5w30.

Yes, definately break it in with NON-synthetic motor oil. After break-in is complete, you can use anything you want.

Re: (Sketch_hs)
I am running basically a b18c5 stock longblock. I used Valvoline 10-30 regular motor oil. I changed the oil at the first 20 miles (most crucial) 250 miles, then again at 1k. What I basically did was load the rings right off the bat, basically as soon as the car had heat cycled once on the first startup. I shifted very smoothly and ran up to about 4500-5k rpm using about half to two thirds throttle (via vafc guage). I also decelerated using the same procedure. I did this for the first 600 miles or so. I varied my dirving as much as possible but I did go on the freeway. After about 750 miles I had to see what vtec was like so I did a very clean vtec pull up to 7k rpm using the same procedure I had before.
Basically all I can say is don't punch it during break in. Shift cleanly and do not floor it. Gradually ease into 4-5k rpm. Also let the car throughly warm up before ANY driving. Yeah, it may **** your GF off, as it did mine, but I am a happy camper for waiting those extra 5 minutes before leaving for my desitination. I think that pretty much covers it.

Re: (Del_Slowest)
Leakdowns are pretty simple if you can find TDC (top dead center) on a motor. Remove the spark plug wires, screw in leakdown tester with air hose connected. Bascially what we did was turn the crank by hand to the point where air wasn't escaping anymore and the reading was constant. When you find that point let all the the air out and then turn it up to 100psi. The first guage, atleast on the one we used, is air in, the second gauge is air out. I was getting 100psi on the in and 99psi on the out hence 1% leakage.
