How to break in freshly rebuilt b16a
I need to know how to break in my rebuilt motor.
I have a 1989 JDM B16A swapped into a 1997 EK Civic. I just installed the wire harness and am about to put oil, transmission fluid, and coolant. I need someone to explain the best process on how I should get my motor broke in. I have heard some stuff about cranking motor and getting oil build up and having an oil pressure gauges hooked up, checking hoses and for leaks, plus driving a certain amount of miles and getting a tune as well but I don’t know the exact step or best way to go about it. Can someone please help me out with all this?
