JMLegacy Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Would love to hear what he thinks about breaking in the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pazuzu Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Would love to hear what he thinks about breaking in the engine.Agreed. I took IAGs recommendation and broke it in real slow and easy over 3k miles. Ive heard vastly contradictory recommendations from different builders.

shralp Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Seems like every builder has different opinions for sure. Rallispec recommended 1,000 mi. break in on my built shortblock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks. Anyone for an actual summary of the video? I.e. the main takeaway for each of the points? I'm just not much for watching videos - much prefer text.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMLegacy Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Whats with the bashing of the engine builder not speaking fluently? I didn't know that he wasn't fluent until I checked the comment section... Youtube can be mean sometimes. As if the guy needs to be barack obama in his delivery or something.

gkinslow Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 That's keyboard warriors for ya. I found both videos informative as I'm having a rebuild done right now at TIC. I'm curious to find out exactly how they expect me to drive during the break-in period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkinslow Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Will do. I need to call them this week anyway to check on progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMLegacy Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Please report back as other people have the same question. Would love if i had the money to do this experiment. Hard break in vs the lengthy thousands of miles. I got a hunch it would be a very similar wear. Hunch that the early oil changes during breaking in are more important than driving it slowly.

I totally agree with that and I hope TiC instructs me to flog it whenever I feel the need from day 1. I hate driving around like a grandma avoiding boost like it's the plague.
