Guys,

Just about to install my new running gear and was wonderinf the following

What oil to use for run-in?

What are the oil change intervals?

Can i use the standard ecu for run-in even though the turbos/cams are different?

How many k's should i run it in for?

What compression should the engine read once the rings have bedded in?

1: Use the Valvoline running in oil.

2: I ran mine for a long time on running in oil (no boost) but not sure if your supposed to do that - mine ran for about 3000ks of labour driving

3: Yes - are the injectors standard though ?

4: 1500km should be fine.

ohh and 5: i could be wrong :(

If this is the engine you have for sale then would put the motor in and let some one the CRD do the rest.but

1. frist time start up let car i run for 5-10mins change oil filter, then run in for 1000km do a leak down test if all good. Run what ever oil your going to run for the rest of its life Castrol 10-60.

3. depends on mods

4. 1000kms if leak down is good

5. i think leak down sould be 2-3% or as low as posible

6. most likey wrong lol
