New SHORTBLOCK. Break-in advice???

[91CoupeMike]

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.


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.

Water bent the valves?

What the fuck?

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

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

Did you get the forged stuff??

Air is a fluid

H2o is liquid, gas, and a solid. Depending on the temprature.

Air is a fluid and a gas.

Water is a fluid and a liquid.

An ideal liquid is an incompressible fluid.

I see, makes sense. Damn play on words.

Water can exist in all three states simultaneously.

Hey I'm the dumbass that thought th400s came stock with a removable bellhousing.

A fluid is basically anything that isn't a solid. Lol. Even plasmas can be modeled as a fluid in certain cases.

he does have a valid question, however, I would listen to the person who provides the warranty. When I build an engine, and I know what clearances i am dealing with, I change the oil after just a short time in the garage and setting vitals, then beat the hell out of it.

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

This is most likely the funniest thing you will ever say!!

I remember that from physics now. All of 5 years ago. Lol
