5-port LML Engine Run-in
Published on August 29, 2012
RUN-IN INTRODUCTION The first 500 miles of your new 5-port LML engine's life are without a doubt the most important. The parts are all new, and they all need a few heat cycles to expand and contract and settle into their correct operating tolerances. Taking your time and getting the run-in right will help to ensure a long, reliable life from your new engine. PRO TIP Avoid over-straining your new engine with excessive speeds/rpm, and try to keep (more or less) to the speeds, below.
- 1st Gear : 0-6 mph
- 2nd Gear : 7-12.5 mph
- 3rd Gear : 12.5-22 mph
- 4th Gear : 22 + mph
