Running a New engine in - How long ?

Running a New engine in - How long ?
500 on running in oil then a few hundred on mineral then change to the oil of your choice always works for me.No boost restrictions, just no labouring of the engine or hard revving without load and she wil be fine as long as you have faith in your engine.

Outer ball joint
Heating cast alloy is very dodgey so tread with caution.It becomes brittle and could snap at a later date.Dont use a flame directly on it.A heat gun would be safer.
