TRON Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Rather than starting another thread: What do you guys think about the break in on my engine? I was told not to drive at constant speed for long amounts of time and that I shouldn't baby it. The engine need to have the throttle open with a load on it to increase the combustion gasses which help the rings to "seat" or whatever you want to call it. My mechanic said do some city driving and slow down, then re-accelerate when on the highways occasionally for a the first few hundred kilometers. Thoughts?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Me personally I beat em like they owe me money. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

firebirdude Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yeesh your mechanic keeps a dirty friggin shop. While I surely don't expect anything close to squeaky clean, I'd go nuts keeping my workbench/tools like that. Just finished working or not, that's a disaster.

TRON Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 How has this thing been running for you?!?! Great, runs like a brand new truck. Fuel efficiency is much better than the old one, avergage is 13L/100km....uuu....18 mpg? Pretty good for an older v8 lugging around a 3400kg fatty. Yeesh your mechanic keeps a dirty friggin shop. While I surely don't expect anything close to squeaky clean, I'd go nuts keeping my workbench/tools like that. Just finished working or not, that's a disaster. Yeah, I know but he does very good work. I'm the complete opposite (same as you) I prefer a work bench that is cleaner and more organized than the kitchen table.
