Engine Break-In Procedures
*****************************************************************
BEFORE ENGINE START UP,
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!
You must prime your oil system and purge it of trapped air. This is very critical, and if not done properly can cause severe damage to your engine. If you have a Remote Oil Filter system, make sure your lines are connected properly. If the lines are crossed, it will not circulate the oil, and will damage your engine. Fill your remote filter and put 4 quarts of oil in your engine. Your return line back to your engine hooks up to your center engine adapter. Remove it and lay it in a pan, remove the spark plugs, then spin your engine over until the oil flows out of the line. Connect it up, then remove Top-end Oiler at the T, where the 90 degree bend connects to. Continue spinning the engine over until oil comes out of line. You are now ready to start the engine.
Total engine break-in time is 2 hours before you race at full speed! I recommend Castrol GTX 20 W 50, for break in and 1 race. Break in time should be kept to 15 minute intervals, with a cool down period in between. Be sure to put a fan in front to keep the engine cool. Try to get 2 hours on it! This will help the engine last longer and run stronger for a long time.
