- I am close to put the engine into my BN2 - at last :-). I am wondering what's the recommended procedure for running in the 100 engine. The engine is filled with run-in oil. Many thanks, Tadek ______

- Idle first for about 15- 30 minutes watching oil pressure and temp. Expect the temp to get close to boiling. If the car does peg the temp meter within 10 minutes or less, you should shut it down and

- Not only keep the revs down, but also use a feather light foot on the throttle for the first few hundred miles!!!! Change the oil after 500 miles and check the cooling system for debris in the radiat

- Hi Tadek, be very careful when you check the engine temperature. Remember that the temperature sender sits in the radiator. I encountered a problem when I started my overhauled engine for the first t

- Hmmm ... this should be an interesting topic. I haven't built enough engines to offer definitive advice, but it seems the contemporary recommendation--for rebuilt older engines with flat tappets, any

- I'm already reading a few contrasting suggestions here regarding your initial engine start up. Here is what I always do: 1. fill the cooling system with water rather than antifreeze mixture. That wa

- Many thanks! When do you change the oil? I am using Millers run-in oil for the startup.. Best, Tadek Tadek, I'm already reading a few contrasting suggestions here regarding your initial engine start

- It can certainly get interesting :-) BTW, I am using Millers run-in oil. Volvo 1800 engines (the B18/B20 series) are to be run initially at 2000-2500 rpm, otherwise the rings will not sit in and the

- Tadek - sorry should have clarified that idle should be set at 1,500 rpm for first start up. My email was confusing. Hope you used cam / tappet lube/paste with high Zinc content - critical for proper

- Only thing I would add is leave the hood (bonnet) off if you have not yet replaced it. 1. Engine will run cooler, much cooler in a Healey as the underhood air pressure/heat build up seems to be worse
