Breakin Procedure!?

[keith4216]

Don't have a ob but Im surprised people arn't told to break a new motor in. I just had a new motor built last year and was well advised on the up and down on rpm's and the time intervals to do so. Then retorging after 10 hours along with oil and filter changes. I'm also surprised on how long people run there motors wo. I must baby mine, I won't hold it at 5000 for more then a min. I guess I just can't afford to unless the guy running me is betting motors!

it's all good, that is actually why I edited my post..

I am sure that you and your wife on a 440 doing over 100 was a hell of a time...

Thanks...it was 25 years ago. I remember my friend saying (he actually had 2 Liquifires) that they were 440s when they were stock, but it changed them to small block chevy's.... of course just kiddin'.

Thanks for letting my story live...I'm just glad I lived to tell what I remember of it.

Staying on topic now, I was talking with a guy that thought his 1980s Merc Outboard was getting ready for a rebuild, and he claimed to have 1800 hours on it?
