8400rpm at 30 miles here.16lbs of boost. Yolo









But yea those that follow mine know my rings took about 400 miles to seat fwiw. Although that is not the norm.

 

Straight-weight, non-detergent oil for the ring seating. That comes out after 50 miles, before the dyno runs, and the regular oil goes in then.

Regular as in synthetic?

 

Regular as in, not straight weight, has detergents and other additives.

 

"regular" as in, whatever you'd normally put in the engine. Amsoil or Rotella or whatever.

--Ian

 

Just swung by napa. Sae30 non detergent was on sale. Bought a case. We good.

 

You can run whatever you want for oil at break in as long as you have a plateau hone and rings that arent cast iron. AKA your engine was built to at least 1990's standards of technology, which isnt exactly a given in this day and age.

 

Kris swears that a long run of John Mann's engines blowing up was due to using synthetic.

 

During break in? Or using synthetic in general?

 

During break in.

 

for the lulz

 

Correction. Leafy was worried. I said I'm going to pull my intake off on the dyno for ***** and giggles

 

Leafy's gonna Leaf

 

Oil cooler sealed to the radiator. Will probably use the same stuff to seal the intercooler to the radiator.

 

Is this the stuff you can find at Home Depot, or some sorta fancy stuff. I was looking at the Depot stuff the other day for a similar purpose.

 

Air cooling, you're doing it wrong!


(Sorry, couldn't help myself)

 

Just home Depot stuff. Didn't stick too great we'll see if it stays.

Lololol. I'm too clumsy. Those have to be covered.

 

Like I told you, get the 500*F stuff from amazon.

 

You never sent me a link. So I bought this

 

Oh I forgot, you cant use google, or amazon, or any search bar for that matter.
