18367, Breaking in new motor Posted by Dualgen2, Mar-24-02 08:08 AM
My motor is being put in now along w/ switching parts from my old motor and switching turbo kit over. How long should I wait before I race my car so I can finally get a time. I was thinking 500 miles+ is normal break in period. Sound right? -Dave

abput 600 miles. just make sure to change your oil after the first 150 miles or so and the again at the 600 mile mark then again after the 1000 mile mark... This is what I have heard from very experienced mechanics..I breking my motor in as of Thursday wohooo!!

hey dual did you post details about your new motor's parts? i am kinda wondering what all you got, cause last i heard i thought you were selling your car altogether or selling your turbo or something? did you get the howell kit?

Hey Dave i'm glad you decided to keep your baby. did you just swap in that other motor? because if you did there shouldn't be a break in period for it wasn't it a used engine? or did you go nasty and rebuild you old motor? and finally are you happy with your decision
