Trikytrev777 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Evening all, What's are your thoughts on the correct running in procedure after a fully engine rebuild? Any and all thoughts welcomed. Thanks, Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ask whoever is building your engine and go with that. I;ve had two built and the recommendation was 1. 500 miles, wastegate pressure boost (disconnect it) on crappy mineral oil 2. 500 miles on semi synthetic and no boost, 3. 1000 total total miles, fully synthetic, reconnect wastegate and map to suit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trikytrev777 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks very much. Somebody mentioned to change the oil after the initial 50 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If poorly built could end up with metal floating around in the oil which you don't want going round the engine, but thats only if the person building it is a muppet or there is something seriously wrong mechanically. Only exception to that would be motorsport engine which will prob only get 50-100 miles running in, but only last about 1000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
