None. I don't know why you are asking me that though, as I agree with everything you've said.

[Heath]

I've had experience building motors, I just haven't built a motor fully myself, or obviously been in a position to fully run one in myself (although I have been taught what I believe is the correct method of running a motor in, and experimented with those methods, driving a vehicle with a motor that was being run in). I also believe that I have a reasonably understanding of how a motor works and the benefits and purposes of running in a motor correctly

And in the past I have talked to Nathan a lot, I have a good idea of how intellegent he is. What exactly do you think my opinion of his intellence is? I haven't stated it anywhere.

i really do need to say that

A wise old man once told me..

Drive the new motor like you always will, every engine i have ever had rebuilt or rebuilt myself i have stuck to that principal and some of these engine have lasted 10 years or longer.

So to say that he didnt run it in properly is a load of crap, first thing i did after the cam was run in and tunned was thrash the guts out of it.

thats a high performance engine, we arnt talking everyday shopping trolley type thing here

Even an engine built correctly to have things happen, generally not but can and does

Sounds like it could do with a bit more bearing clearance.
Was this a crate motor or something you built yourself ?

I was highlighting the point that he didn't answer my question and I thought that might get him to respond. I don't understand how a simple, straight forward and sensible question turns into a smartarse comment just because I'm literally a few years younger than Nathan.

Yes I know it won't achieve anything blah blah blah I just don't appreciate being insulted for no reason. This wasn't the only time here today either ffs.

sorry to hear bout ya new engine Nathan, these things happen as others have said. all ya gotta do is get back on the horse and build it better. Mistakes are priceless as they make you a better mechanic.

i drove it exactly how i want to drive it for the next 100 000km's, exactly what boomfunk said. u run an engine in like a pussy, ur engine will always be a pussy.

This could go in the hall of fame for the stupidest thing I have read on this forum.

[Heath]

If I was old enough to sign up for the dole at least I would have some money to spend on it like you.

[ls2lxhatch]

But its true... my engines built to rev just over 6k, i aint gonna rev limit it to like 4k and be a pussy.

Actually it is not true, even with the quality of machining available today the engine still needs to be run in. If you do not run in the engine properly it will never develop its full power or last as long as it should.

You should look at getting the engine run in on a dyno, it will be cheaper than rebuilding it every couple of weeks.
