Howdy all,

Just thought I would share my joy at seeing/hearing my motor up an running for the first time in 10 weeks. Its just about finished (little bits to go on) and should have it back this weekend - YAY!

1000kms of running in and then another 3000 of gentle driving and we'll see how it copes with 18-19psi. Will keep you updated and hopefully have a dyno sheet in a few weeks.

Cheers,

ken

Pretty sure thats it.

Its going to be really frustrating running the thing in. Might have to set the pfc for low rpm and "lose" the hand controller for a while, aarrgghhh.

hahahhaa 4sure!

there are so many variables with running in engines - maybe talk to Cruisliner or Sydneykid about it?

thats a fair sized list there.......... well done and best of luck.

have a read: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm (warning: for bike engines!)

Advice lads on running in? Much appreciated. This is the first motor I have had to rebuild, I'm pretty surprised it didnt happen sooner. Hopefully never have to do it again either! Bloddy expensive.

Well done on getting it finished, it's such a great felling to hear it burst into life the first time. :P

I have used the same basic running in process for lots of years and on many engines;

Castrol GTX (the basic no frills mineral oil) with new filter.

Run engine for about 1/2 hr or until well warm.

Change oil filter. Engines can have particles in them that acccumulate during the build/maching proces and they need to be removed from the engine ASAP, these are caught in the oil filter. If you leave them in, the oil filter can get blocked and so it will be bypassed ie; no filtering.

Check the basic tune on the dyno or on the road with portable lambda sensor.

Drive to Bathurst and back, around 500k's, lots of varying conditions, up and down hills, freeway, long climbs etc. Don't rev the beegeesus out of it, gentle but firm, change throttle openings often, no slogging it in high gears with lots of throttle. Much better to load it up with partial throttle openings going up hills.

Drain the GTX and remove the oil filter.

Refill with Castrol Edge 10W60 and fit a new oil filter.

Do leak down test, if OK then final tune on the dyno.

Go racing

:D Cheers :(

for your info - 5 parts to the running-in of an engine, plus his advice makes sense.

Im not liable for blame if she blows! - but my bike engine loved me for it :P

Honda motorcycle engines rev to double the rpm of a Nissan RB

The tolerances that a motorcycle engine is built to are not the same as an RB

Honda motorcycle engines are not usually turbocharged

Don’t pussy the thing, lots of varying load is good, but not lots of rpm or boost.

:P cheers :D

:blush: cheers :blush:

I agree - not that that means much.

Lots of varying the RPM, ie the load on the engine, is the way to go. Never let it 'idle' drive, ie sit at 60kmph for 5mins at 2500rpm; vary the load.

    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
