Subject: RE:New motor break in by bogus on 2007/2/11 21:20:37 I think this has been answered over at CF. The thread that links you to the motorcycle guy, that's who I agree with. Break in is a rather nebulous term. The bearings are hydrostatic - they float on oil... no break in there. The cam is a little of both, and that's why there might be a break in required, check the cam specs. The key is setting the rings. Thanks to harder metals, it's much more sensative to break in. Your window of opportunity is limited. From what I remember on that link, the idea is to load the engine, which will increase combustion pressures and force the rings to spread and seat where they belong, not too high on the groove or what not. |
