ill be the guy in the front stabbing jaws. see me after the show

**Vteckidd** · 02-14-2006, 11:43 AM

its not a B!8? dont tell me you did a B16 in that heavy teg? LOL

congrats, if its a rebuilt engine, just take it easy for 100 miles. if its had to pistons and rings in it, CHANGE THE OIL at these intervals:
20MIN of running
50 MILES
100 MILES
500 MILES

you will get most of the metal shavings in the first 500 miles, to keep from scarring the cylinder walls, change your oil repeatedly at those intervals. also , use CHEAP oil no synthetics. I usually run my engines to redline within min of starting, but it depends on what your builder says to do

good luck

exactly, i changed my oil like 4 times the first 500 miles then at 1,000 & 2,000...castrol baby! (or was it penzoil

) yeah, com'n! Can't remember if i made the switch to Mobil 1 at 1k or 2k

seriously at those intervals? i'd never heard taht... now the 500 mile i can understand, but 50 and 100? i mean, you're the expert, but i just hadnt heard that extreme. hell i'll prolly put 200 on her today! lol. so would it be ok, since i'm takin it easy on her for a while, to just do the 500 intervals?

**civic95** · 02-14-2006, 12:51 PM

I want to ride in the K20a teg first

**Vteckidd** · 02-14-2006, 12:52 PM

i would AT LEAST change it at the 20min interval. you need to crank it up and let it run, warm up, then change the oil.

if this is a USED motor that HASNT had new piston and rings put in, then beat the shit out of it, no break in is required.

those first couple hundred are the VERY most important...on a new engine (or rebuilt) you'll have shavings and crap like crazy...the 50 mile one is the very most important change and that same stuff will recollect in the next 50 miles after it...

he mentioned break in so i'm assuming he meant a REAL break-in in which it did have new rings and pistons.

**collins** · 02-14-2006, 12:58 PM

i'll ask him about the rings. i know he put new seals on it... he just recomended about 750-1000 miles on break in. so if its seals only and not rings and whatnot, whats the word on it?

**IndianStig** · 02-14-2006, 02:25 PM

nice, congrats

**witha k** · 02-14-2006, 02:42 PM
