Re: beaterX project thread

The first 20 miles of driving need to be burnout miles. No joke, it's the only way to break in engines properly.

Heh, no WOT b/c of the MAF issues but I certainly gave it a bit of boost and rpm

That's been argued many times, the whole "proper way to break in an engine" thing. I know some super knowledgable people that will say one way and one will say the other, I don't think there's currently a 100% proven method as compared to the other.

I like the hard break in method. It's been out standing in its field since then. No problems or oil burning or anything.
