ENGINE BREAK IN PERIOD ON ARROW REBUILD

[Tom Shapiro]

It's the same. The first 200 miles are the worst.

I just got my engine back from Arrow and if you want it to run right and no problems follow the 1,000 mile new car break in procedure.

I feel for you.....I now have 1100 miles on my car after the rebuild. The first 500 were really hard but sure fun as heck*.

Another 400 miles and another oil change and I will be feeling a whole lot better about just driving it!
I can't tell if it's more powerful because of the rebuild or if it's just because I have not driven it all winter but it wants to stretch its legs and run!

sunny and 72 today....No top cruising the long way home.......

luvdaviper95,

Someone here who has a good connection at Arrow should confirm this, but I had heard that the rebuilt engines are run on the dyno to seat the rings and then do a couple full throttle pulls.
How else would they know the horsepower and have dyno sheets after the rebuild? As long as the rings are seated properly, you should be good to go.
