I put another 500+ miles on my new engine and it was time for an oil and filter change and valve adjustment. I also pulled the sump cover for inspection and adjusted my clutch cable. None of the valves ended up needing an adjustment. I'm good for another 3000 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
It took me about an hour and 45 minutes start to finish. Not bad I think for a non-mechanic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

new motor, I'd probably recheck them valves again before another 3000 miles (more like 500 again) to be on teh safe side. if they are still stable, then i say your golden. do a second oil change then also. that first round of break in oil did not get all drained out the first oil change, and it is surely full of residue. a second oil change will remove a lot more of that initial break in oil and grit.
have fun with the new motor, who built it? what compresiion ratio, valve sizes, cam? me i am thinking of a bigger motor asap as mine is bit the dust. is yours running stock d-jet ok? just want to get some ideeas if you can be of any help. thanks! |

I didn't mean my post to be boastful in any way. I was just psyched that I'm getting more proficient with this car stuff. As for the motor, I did a cam breakin and then changed the oil and filter and adjusted the valves. Then I drove it for about 125 miles and did another oil/filter change and valve adjustment. Then I went another 550 miles and did another oil/filter change and valve adjustment. My engine build link is in my signature. It's a 2056 with rebuilt stock 2.0 heads, a Raby 9050 cam, 9:1 compression, 40mm IDFs. Fun fun fun. |
