Re: New engine break-in questions (tranny oil leak, too) 120-130 66

posted by  someone claiming to be Justin on  Tue Jan 2 07:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

By new, I mean the block was dipped and fully machined and cylinders were bored 0.020". All of the bearings and shells are new, as are the pistons and rings. The bores had obvious cross hatching when I assembles the engine. I've been using 10W-40 oil in it.

I also should have noted that the oil was very runny after driving it, but of normal viscosity when I drained it. It was darker, though, than it was on the dipstick before.

Thanks for the reply.
