break in period for SR?

Post by **hadokenny** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 8:53 pm

i am wondering how long i should wait until i can push the SR. I installed the engine not long ago. since the engine has been sitting around for a whiel before i installed, i should wait for it to break in again before i push it right? What should the break in period be?

Did you add any new parts to it? If not then there is no need for a break in period, if stuff is going bad, it will do it sooner than later. Though if you’re a cautious person like most of us here, 200-300 is safe. New clutches are about 300, new turbos are about 500-1000. I broke my SR in for about 30 miles :P

None of those have any break in period. Just decide by how the car feels. If its running rough then you probably don't want to get on it before you know whats wrong. If its feeling fine and there is nothing appearantly wrong then you could probably get on it after the juices start flowing through it. As I mentioned before, you probably want to give it a couple hundred miles in the off chance.

Just warm it up good and make sure no leaks are present, run it through the gears once or twice to knock to cobwebs off, and your good to go.

ya, I ran mine around for about 30 minutes at 7psi, then I jumped to 10 for about an hour, then I went to 14

SR = have 50k miles = broke in already
