Running engine in

Post by Daniel2019 »

Theories guys?

Have been told load up low rpm torque on hills but how long should I wait before thrashing it around like I will on the track?

Have done about 800kms of under 4000rpm.
I fix cars.

Interesting. A mechanic at work told me about 2-3 thousand Ks before thrashing it.

Others have said drive it as you normally would.

Difficult to know what to do? :scratch:

After having my suzuki engine hand built I stand by what Draz posted, they told me to drive it how I would normally drive it...

I bedded in the engine originally as per manufacturer specifications (900kms below 4000rpm) look where that got me?!
