Happy for you, and me and Zoe and everyone else who's getting engines back in this week Mine's in the back of the Golf Heavy buggers these 2ltrs, better have plenty more power!
i only got one because my hand was forced by knackered old one and it was a 'now or never' decision time.
ooh, don't know. mechanic just said 50-55mph and don't over rev it - i thought that if i avoided hills it would be kinder?
There's a lot of stuff online about what to do with a new engine to break it in, but I'd say ask the engine builder what to do.
mechanic only recommends laurie's engines and they're good pals so i think he'll know too. this'll be the first time i'll be listening to him carefully
Very wise. When I bought a 1776, I quizzed the engine builder about what to do, and followed his instructions to the letter.
Get full instructions from your builder/ mech. You'll need to follow their specifications to keep the warranty valid. BTW a turn key engine is one with all the ancillary bits fitted i.e. coil, dizzy etc - basically ready to bolt in (more or less). Yours delivered from Laurie is a long block. I am a veritable mechanical genius these days I have even progressed to being able to name every single part by sight. Lol.
