i recently rebuilt my b18c1 on my teg and will be going back in the car in a few days. motor is all stock honda parts other than arp harware, hasting rings and acl bearings.

i did my research on break in and found the mototune web site very helpful and along with reading some different polls found that most people prefer the "Hard Break in" procedure.

the website tough becuase it was based around motorcycles left me a bit confused on some parts.

what is acctually a step by step proper "hard" break in method?
including oil change intervals, hard pull and deceleration method and gear choice?

next autox event is oct 14 and i really hope to have it all broken in by then...

thanks

 

no help?
and im not trying to get into another how to break in my engine thread i just want to know whats a more torough explanation on how to acctually do mototunes method

thanks

 

i personally never "break in" a motor. no 500 or 1000 miles crap. start the motor. let it run for an hour or so. drain and change oil and filter. then go dyno.....

stock engine rebuild using stock ecu .... no need for a dyno

 

just follow the procedure that moto man specifies.

thats the whole reason im posting this cause his way to break in on the street is a bit unclear...so i was confused

 

there are various schools of thought, its your choice what you want to belong to.

hard break in procedure (hard on the gas,let it cool repetition) to fully seats valves, rings, seals, etc

and then there low rpm variation not going hard on the motor. many people will argue this all day.

 

i break them in hard , like they like it

ok i think you guys are missing my point im not hear to argue which break in is better....

but whats a more detailed procedure for mototune break in process.

i starchland mention hard on the gas the let it cool can someone explain that?

like how far do i rev and in what gear before letting the engine slow it self down?

 

nvm
