Breaking in motors and tuning
#3
I know u said u dont like reading, but this is stephen bess's break in method.

Bess' method. Basically you wrap the
cooling head with some tin foil and then a sock if its really cold
outside. That way you can run the engine rich and it still be at 200-
220 degrees. Then you just start driving the car around modereratly,
no blipping the thottle quickle because you don't want to "skid" the
bearings and out flat spots in them. You just drive it around going
from no throttle and rolling the throttle slowly to 1/4 for the first
tank, then on the second and third tank do the same thing but rolling
the throttle to maybe 1/2 throttle. You do this for 3 tanks of fuel
but you don't stop the engine between tanks. You just keep filling it
up. Its almost like the Rody Roem break in method but adding the tin
foil lets you run the engine richer for a few tanks lubricating and
washing out all the metal thats coming off the piston when the pinch
is still very tight. Works awesome. I'll have to refrechen up on how
many tanks to do this for but I think it was 3 tanks. Then take the
car to the track and run 2-3 tanks around the track nice and easy, not
race tune and no FAST blips of the throttle and going down the
straight just go 1/2 throttle and getting on and off the throttle if
the straight is really long. After 2-3 tanks of that, Race tune and
run her hard!! Takes way less time than the other Heat Cycle method
and is just as good or I believe better because your getting more
lubrication threw the engine when it needs it the most when its brand
new ;-) Just another way you guys can try and it works killer!
