New motor? 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Erikbgt on  Fri Jul 2 02:36 CST 2004 [RELATED]

its all new fluids etc because the engine was a pull. I did notice today that when I was parked (slight incline) the oil on the dipstick seems WAYY to high, would that attribute to it pulsating like that...as long as the engine is running about 1k rpms (it sounds fine outside the car) but when below it makes that sputtering noise but I also started using high test (93 octane) because I've always used 87 since someone recommended that and it seems to be not quite as bad as it was with 87. Not sure if either A) the octane is doing anything
or B) just driving it a bit helped break the engine back in. thanks,

erik
