How Should I break in My newly built engine?
« on: 07/22/09 - 04:20AM »
I have never had a new engine before, how should i break it in? I am just waiting on Injectors and a regulator and she will be ready to be started. I just don't want to pour all this money into this engine and it screw it up, ya know?

Drive it just like you normally would any other time (in other words don't baby it)... and NEVER use synthetic in a new engine.

chrome and chromemolly ring you just don't drive at anyone speed or rpm they brake in within a few hunderd miles or they never will. castiron you drive normal and they will brake in sometime. if you don't know brake them in like they are chrome rings.
