New SHORTBLOCK. Break-in advice???

I can see how it could happen dipshit, just most of the time the rods let go, not the valves.

Imcompressible fluid? What's wrong with saying, just fluid?

What fluid can be compressed, mr. Smarty pants.

Air is a fluid

Yeah, you should definitely take the warranty conspiracy advice from the guy who doesn't understand how an incompressible fluid can bend a valve.

Water bent the valves?

What the fuck?

They want you to baby it for 1,000 miles because that's an easier way it'll make warranty should they have done a shitbox job on the engine.

There have been tons of research done in this area and he has a valid ?. Unfortunatly almost all of the ring seat happens in the first heat cycle an engine goes trough. After that it doesn't matter. I alway run a fresh motor long enough to make sure there are no leaks and then I take it out and leave it in first gear, hammer on it and let off an let then engine compression brake it self this really puts load on the rings and seats them in. Do this three or four times, let it cool and change the oil. After that its fair game.

This. I've heard to drive the living shit out of it to seat the rings as good as possible. Seating them in too slowly will lead to shitty ring seal.

Basically the guys that say run it like ya stole it seem to have some merit.

1k miles isn't that much, I am doing break in also. I for one, am going to break in my new motor the right way after being carless for a few months.....but that's just my opinion.

fuck it, of course you wont hurt it..oil changes are an old wives tale too

Money don't grow on trees and oil is expensive. Why waste the money when water works just as well

drive the piss out of it. you wont hurt anything

This was the answer I was looking for!!!

[TEAMJACOB]

If they reccommended 1000 miles at nothing over 4k rpms then you out to be able to jack the car up and put it in drive and run it at 12k for 300 miles and knock some time off
