Rayman Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 1200 miles at 3k and 300 miles at 5k. then its of for full map:) Thats not too bad i suppose,its probably the best time to be running it in and then its good for the spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Nah it will be easy, anyhow i have no choice the aem will have a set rev limit plus i dont fancy doing this in a hurry again... its been fun and Greg has taught me loads but i just want it home now:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Nah it will be easy, anyhow i have no choice the aem will have a set rev limit plus i dont fancy doing this in a hurry again... its been fun and Greg has taught me loads but i just want it home now:) Please be VERY wary of ludicrously low rev limits, there are occasions on the road where you might NEED some revs to get out of an emergency situation, and bugger the running in. Just a thought. Bit like stock traction control when you pull out of a poorly sighted junction and suddenly see the artic doing 70....and stock TC decides it's cut engine time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Looking good Jamie, cant wait to see it up and running again...as Tom said a Vid of first start up after the build would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Isn't good practice to balance an engine when rebuilt to this extent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Just a quick one. Is it better to do lots of short journeys, or motorway miles? Or even better, how are you planning on breaking it in and is this known to be the 'best' way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
