Eagle_Adam Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Does anyone have any good tips on breaking in an engine?? Would the drive to Canby be a good break-in for it?? :confused: :confused: NOOOOOOO!! no sustained RPMS!! rev up, and rev down, drive the bitch like you stole it and run her hard, then back off and run her hard again kinda like rough sex :D 1 Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 yup, the break in oil i bought from royal purple is good for 500 miles so i figured id break it in as long as i can before canby! Should I be using a special break-in oil?? I read straight 30w is good. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Personal preference ,, I just use the oil i'm going to use normally . If you ask 100 people you`ll likely get 100 different answers. Google it for giggles, there is no answer <_< it`s like trying to find the meaning of the universe . :D 1 Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I know...that's why I thought I'd get a few more opinions from you guys......I like to stay informed. :sleep: Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The more research you do the more confused you'll get.. It`s kinda like quantum physics there`s too many theories and not much actual fact to ever get a definitive answer.. :lol: Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 ......agreed. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 straight 30 is what I used years ago was told non detergent for the break in I used valvoline no sustained rpm fast faster fastest and repeat seriously just try not to drive at 4000rpm and keep it there try to mix it up a bit drive in 5th then 4th then speed up a bit then slow down a bit and maybe google for shits and giggles your daughter is adorable and does great work ( Did you see that shrink wrap ) now if you can get Kendall to finish painting it you are golden :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment

That's what I went with. Thanx.....makes me so happy that she's interested in what I do. Don't think we got time to paint the rest of the car......I only have tonight left cause I'm with my kids tomorrow night and we're leaving early Thursday(hopefully). ......I'm down to crunch time. :w00t: Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 you only get to break it in once, so why not use a product formulated for it? Quote Link to comment
