I want to know how many miles are considered customary or 'adequate' to break-in this engine.
Thanks up front.
P.S.
This is the same engine that was in the truck when I bought it. it did run at the time. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,811 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,811 | 10 accelerations from 30 to 60 MPH in top gear to seat the rings, then "Drive it like ya stole it!" Change oil and filter at 2,000 mile intervals.
