Re: SOme engin questions

An engine properly built to factory specs will make more power as the miles are put on it. All the parts will loosen up, rings and cyl walls wear themselves smooth, internal friction is reduced and the rings seal better.
At some point, rings will start to lose their sealing ability, but this can be after 50,000 miles or more.

yes fully built motors can be driven on the street, but of course that depends on what kind of build, i mean a full race motor shouldnt be driven ont eh street but if you talking about a turbo motor then yeah it can be driven on teh street
