wtf dude? this is at least the 3rd thread you've made asking this. you've already gotten your answers in the other threads from very knowledgeable people.

how about you ask your tuner what you should do since you dont seem to be listening to anybody else.

Ask 10 people, and they'll all tell you different "how to break it in" methods. I'm a fan of slapping the fresh motor on the dyno and ******* the everliving **** out of it. Broken in many a motor this way, and I've never had a problem with any of them.

OP, if you aren't tuned, and are running oversized injectors, just go ahead and rebuild your motor again now. Your cylinders are washed to ****. Combine that with fresh, unsealed rings, and your motor will always burn oil, and won't last long.

I think the OP just wants to brag that he's got a new engine. Larger injectors for what? Tuned on what? Do you even HAVE an EMS? I see from your post history that the answer is "No". It looks like you've started half a dozen threads to see if anyone is going to give you some trick to run this car without getting it tuned.

Hint; stop posting about the dumb engine and get it tuned.
