Engine Break-In Procedure
Fill the engine with oil with 15w50 full synthetic motor oil and follow the proper engine priming procedure. Also check and fill as required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.
Run the engine between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm, with no load for the first 30 minutes. Adjust the valve lash using the proper procedure. Drive the vehicle at varying speeds and loads for the first 30 laps. Be sure not to use a lot of throttle or high rpm’s. Run 5-6 medium-throttle accelerations to about 4500 rpm followed by letting off in gear and coasting back down to 2000 rpm. Run a couple of hard-throttle accelerations to about 5000 rpm followed by letting off in gear and coasting back down to 2000 rpm.
Change the oil and filter with 15w50 full synthetic motor oil and filter. Drive the next 25 laps without high rpm’s (below 5000 rpm), hard use, or extended periods of high loading. Change the oil and filter again.
