I have an engine sitting at a loading dock, it was just built.
I don't know if the cam has even been through a break-in, and I don't think the builder is going to clue me in. (he called me a mother fucking asshole, and told me he hopes it blows up like the last one) Anyone want to list break-in procedures? The gas tank is ruined, anyone have a (cheap) decent one in the south-east I could buy? You would think a nice one would have come with the car for that much.. Thank you, Miles |

Break-in oil...
DIESEL MOTOR OIL. Stop by the local FLAPS and pick up a bottle of Shell Rotella T or Mobil Devlac 30wt for break-in. More zinc content in Diesel motor oil than the regular stuff. Seating the rings. Get a good load on the motor (Hmm, 4th gear maybe?), low-ish RPM's, then mash the gas. Let it build up near redline (but not *that* close to it). Once the rings are seated and you've drained the oil - check the valves and make sure they aren't getting loose or anything. Fill up with some fresh oil, maybe do a few more ring seats and let the motor settle. Just regular driving and get on it here and there. After that, change the oil again. Maybe stick some 15-40 in it and then let it rip. If it hasn't broken by now, it probably won't. Tom |
