Hi Guys,
my02 sti (2.0L turbo, EJ207) just had an engine rebuild. What are some tips for breaking it in. General rules and what to do and try to do while in the breaking in process. Also had a new clutch install. Any tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys in advanced, Merc Last edited by mercury888; 12-02-2015 at 12:08 PM. |

I haven't had to break in a motor, but I've heard thrash it and granny it.
My advice - follow the instructions of the person who built it.

I would trust the person that built your engine and that you paid your hard earned money to, more than I would trust a bunch of retards on an Internet forum.
You have your answer from him. I say, listen to it. Ps: Thrash the fuck out of it/drive it like you stole it - will be mentioned a few times. As I said, retards on an Internet forum..... Do you really trust them?

Do's - whatever the guy who built it said.
Dont's - follow the advice of ever Tom, Dick and Harry on the internet.

I've heard a few as below:
Don't keep it at constant revs - eg, cruising down the freeway on cruise control Do vary loads on the engine - eg go up Greenmount hill in a few different gears to help bed in the rings Don't rev out to red line nor keep it below say 2500rpm. Work the engine in gradually over 1000kms then drop the oil and give it a good flush, full back up with recommended oil. All, some or none of these may be correct. Just different things I've heard along the way.
