i just got my car back from the shop. my motor just got fully built for boost (je pistons, eagle rods, bearings, hg, studs, etc.) and i was wonderin if there is a break in period. right now, im basically just doing what common sense tells me to like not venturing into vtec range. what other precautions should i take? thanks.

 

Do not go over 3500 RPM for 1000 city miles.

Not necassarily. Ever heard the term SLOW BREAK in, SLOW MOTOR?

I'd say take it to no more than 4500 or so for the first 200-300 miles, then go easy on till 800-1000 miles

 

what kind of motor is it?

 

everybody has their own opinions. i dont necessarily think there is any 1 procedure that is correct. after i built my engine. i warmed it up, put abouit 20 miles on it and i couldnt resist the temptation and took it to redline. if somethings goin to go wrong, no matter how much u baby it its goin to go wrong whether u slowly break it in or rod the crap outta it.

 

search ITR forum. There was a good thread re: this a few days ago.
