Yet another break-in thred

[Smokes]

I know that everyone has a theory on how to break-in an engine. So I figured that I would put this link on here for some discusion/arguements:biggrin:.
In any case, it is a good read.

Yeah this is the one where he says to run it hard to set the piston rings right?

 

[Smokes]

Thats the one.

 

[SUODRAXAH]

I was actually going to do this with the xr but I forgot and you can't do half easy break-in then decide to got WOT everywhere. So I just did the normal take it easy one. There are quite a few threads on here talking about if the break in process is really even that important. I think it is.

 

[Smokes]

I had read this before i bought my X. When I took it out on the test drive it only had 5 miles on it, so I beat on it a little.

 

[SUODRAXAH]

Idk if it's the same for boosted motors though...

 

[Smokes]

Most people probably have some miles under their belt before getting boosted. If not, the added boost probably REALLY seats the rings:laugh:.

 

[SUODRAXAH]

Oh I misread your mod thing. Didn't see the little "soon" after TRD S/C

 

[Smokes]

Fixed that problem.

These motors are broken in from factory.

^^^ that is true and they drive them a couple miles for testing so when you get them u have 10-15 miles on them which dosent give u much time to do what he said but than again beating on a vehicle is never good and babying one all the time isnt you just need to find a happy medium

mine had 4 miles. I dont think they took it for a spin. but they do break them in at the factory

most all mechanical components have some sort or "run in" performed on them

The motors are assembled and broken in on a dyno before they get dropped in the truck. Then they are test driven again at the factory.

I bought my XR in Houston (Alvin,Texas) And drove it like a mad man all the way back to Dallas. :rock:

Is it an actual dyno where they run the engine or one of those setups where they spin them up with an electric motor without actually firing it
