???? oookkkk

peps talked me into getting crower over eagles

I did not ask my machine man yet what he suggjest, just thought i would ask?

And how many if you actaully used "brake in" oil. I was gonna run just regualr GTX first 100, change filter and oil for another 500 with GTX than at a thousand change filter and oil to mobil one.

Thought brake in oil would maybe hurt a new turbo?

Turbo will be fine, use conventional oil to break in the new engine. You can do it your way, or even use conventional for 500 miles and then you can make the switch. My machinist didnt even want me to boost it until I had a couple hundred miles on it.

Bedplate bolts can be reused, they dont get stretched.

I used regular valvoline 10-30 for 1000 miles, then swapped over to synthetic

Chief · 09-19-2009, 09:09 AM

yea thats what i keep seeing, try to use a low viscosity oil 5-30 range for brake in. after 1000-1500 than you can move to syn.

Thanks guys.

Bike sold!!! Parts are gonna start rollin in next week.

exactally. diablo you can see the curves in every way to see how that engine is responding. and if you get a nigel/tds tune they work with you to get it perfect. worth every fucking penny. those two guys are amazing.

Well im gonna sleep on it, maybe talk to turbo666 a bit too about everything. Not gonna worry about it right now, just working on getting the block backtogether. and braking her in. Neo will work for now. I think ill be able to run 20-22 psi before it starts knockin. i was able to run 26 with no knock, but that was with weak compression results, and 8:1 CR.

Im hopin i dont get any leaks from my three spacers
