Ask 10 different engine builders how to break in an engine and you'll get 10 different answers.

 

you got what from me?

I merely posted a link. I never said i agree with it or condone it.

thank you, drive through.

" If there is something wrong with the engine clearances from the factory you'll find out about it soon enough no matter how easy or hard you run the engine. "


haha i have always said that, and practice this. When i first started at acura i was told the same. good page

 

i totally agree.... i put the engine together run it in the garage (warm up) and also that give the new nearings time to "shed" make sure it has no leaks ... drive it arroun d the block slowly... stop... check for leaks drive through all 5 gears normal driveing for about 1 mile... U-turn 1st gear normal driving ...2nd gear full throttle and then 3rd and 4 th about 3/4 throttle... and then im on my way to 900-1000 driving normal with many "romps" on the throttle in every gear.... have NEVER had a problem...

 

Umm...thats what i ment..i got the 'link' from the thread that you posted...
...im still wondering what "drive through" means....?
i just wanted to share what i saw and maybe get a discussion going.....

 

I think he was just joking...something someone would say at a drive through window.


Anyways, I don't think I trust what this guy is saying. It sounds like it makes sence, but it goes against that I've heard from all manufactures and engine builders before hand. How could I just ignore what I've heard and listen to one person's opinion from the internet?? Does anybody agree? disagree?

 

it seems logical, thats how i have always broken in my race motors on my motocross bikes, never had any problems with them

 

i know in fact that if u break-in the new motor too easy ( no load ) the rings will not sealed properly

but on the other hand what will happened if u break-in the new motor violently like the one mentioned at http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm ????????

 

damn right
my buddy had a boxster S with only 7000 miles spin a bearing and shoot a rod through the block because 1/3 of the origional boxster s motors from porsche were clearenced incorrectly.

good info there

 

if you were installing new pistons / rings or something along those lines...i totally agree...but its a brand new engine...i think other parts would need some break in time before you totally load the engine

 

Best way to break in a motor is upon initial start up let engine run at 2500 rpm for 20 minutes while monitering oil press and coolent temp as well as checking for any leaks. this higher rpm is so that the camshaft seats proper. dont let a new engine idle excessively. after 20 min. let engine idle, set timing and any other adjustments eg carb etc.. then change oil and filter. drive vehicle on a long road and accelerate from approx 30 mph. to 55 mph. then decccellerate back to 30 mph. DO THIS ATLEAST 10 TIMES. WHAT THIS DOES IS ON ACCELERATION IT HELPS TO SEAT THE RINGS AND ON DECELL THE HIGH VACCUM HELPS OIL THE CYLINDER WALLS.
AFTER DRIVE NORMALLY FOR 500 MILES THEN OIL CHANGE AGAIN. AFTER THIS GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!
