----Breaking in a newly built engine in ??

[git]

Well as most of you can see got the engine cleaned up ,few bits here and there,nearly ready to go now ........ going to go with trackday for the mapping , what i want to know and maybe tdp could shed some light for me is ........ what is the best way to do this - on the road or on the dyno and if its done on the dyno do the lads in tdp change the oil for you (obdviously im guessing theres a charge, thats no problem ) after its run in previous the mapping ?? so its on fresh oil for the mapping itself..........anyone with info on how it works could they share the knowledge , would be great !

thanks chris .........

Give it to robbie he'l run it in on the dyno for ya its your safest bet.....! They say if an engines built right it don't have to be ran in at all....! So they say...!

the best way to run in an engine is drive it as you are going to go on as in drive it hard to an extent but do not drive it like a ganny this will do more damage than anything else and deffo do not leave it tick over!!

set rev limiter to 3k on pfc, and live up with it for a thousand miles or so ? (Depends on the build really i guess)

Best way to run an engine in is to keep it under a load as much as possible so i'd go with a dyno if atall possible
