Hi to all,
There is a bewildering array of conflicting information on the www regarding
the engine run in process. I have my newly rebuilt 260 nearly ready to fire
and am looking to the list for what is the best way to accomplish this job
in a way that will ensure a long and happy life for the engine (and by
extension, me).
The engine is .030 over and apart from that was restored to stock specs.
Questions might include;
-type of oil to use
-length of time before oil changes
-best rpm loading and duration of run in periods before allowing engine to
cool
-best way to ensure the engine will be free of air pockets (taking into
account the presence of the heater core
-best type of coolant to use
-thoughts on the use of synthetic oil during run in and/or after run in
It was gratifying this week to turn the key and hear her turn over without
having to grab a fire extinguisher, if you know what I mean...
Thank you,
Tim
