Re: Engine Break In

Awesome dude. I'm glad to see a lot of the older members coming back around...

I am going to have my car running by next week also here and will be breaking it in. I've done a lot of research on this and think I know the best way to get a good running car that will still last a decent amount of time... Variable RPM's is a must. Avoid highway driving at constant steady speeds. Drive the car semi-hard but only up to 4k RPM's about... I say drive it semi-hard so that you can build a good bit of boost to help set things in place, but without taking into the higher RPM's... That should make for a strong running motor and still give you a decent amount of longevity out of it too.

At least that is how I'm gonna do it. lol...
