Couln't agree with you more Carl all this CNC boring ectra is IMO no better, I hand hone all my engines using a dial bore gauge to check as I go it has never let me down to date.

As for the difference between bike and car engines im not convinced. I thought it was all down to bore/stroke/rod ratios and crank design etc etc, afterall they work in the same way just rev higher....generally. I just remembered this small fact about a particular modern bike it has a prgrammed in safety feature that prevents the rider from running the engine hard until it has achieved a critical running temperature. So if this function is on all the time this theory cannot be applied. I would assume the engine designers have done this to prolong the life of the engines. Also Porsche (and dont ask me how) worked out that the bores of an engine have a certain elastity when new and every combustion cycle the bore goes through causes the bore to expand and contract. What they found out was that the bore experienceing this expansion and contraction cycle would after a number of cyles set into shape. They also determined that no matter what the frequency of these cycles it took the exact same number of cycles to work the bore till it set. Also motor bike bores are magplated (not to sure on that one) aluminium alloy or silicon linned bores both these materials are extremely hard wearing and would require lots of pressure to cause ware. as far as I am aware only porsche and Mercedez produce care engines that use silicon lined bores. So like I said the tech is way different between bikes and cars. Edited by Mr Joshua on 5th Dec, 2009. Own the day

I never usually drive engines hard till they got some heat in them, but the other day my mate decided to have a go at passing me in his pug, so I dropped it a cog to teach him a lesson as its much quicker. But with not enough heat in the engine I landed on a limiter of 6000 ish rpm as opposed to 8700 ish normally. Personally I've never hit the limiter when the engines hot, only my mate did when I let him drive it. Edited by minimole23 on 5th Dec, 2009. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I was educated during my mecanics training to run an engine in by driving it as you would expect a customer to drive it.

I'd like to try this..so first start the engine and just sprint on road after worm up? how many RPM should i do during the worm up? |

as moste say try not to let a rebuilt engine idel for to long, but ofcorse you need time to chek for leeks and to make sure you have enough oil and coolant before you take to the road.
Cheers, Andrew

an old topic i know.. soon i will have to start my new motor for the first time and id like to get it right if there is a right and wrong way for our A series engines..

I did very similar to this. Drive down to castle Combe with heavy bursts of power. Then gave it death round the track. Changed oil then drove to nurburgring and gave it more death :) it did 6k miles with no problems and I have inspected the block and there are no signs of any problems. Hone marks are still there. I may also add it got top power for the boost I was running. |

an old topic i know.. soon i will have to start my new motor for the first time and id like to get it right if there is a right and wrong way for our A series engines.. so how about the cam/first ever start? the most common thing i have found is not to let it idle.. so dose that mean start it get the revs to say 2000 - 3500 get it wormed up and check things over like leaks, afr, oil pressure then take it for a spin once the coolant and oil are up to temp? i think it will be a stressful/exciting time trying to get everything set up and good to go in the time taken to get the oil and water hot Reading up on RTS Clutches On 21st Sep, 2006 Paul S said: Go on, be brave, put it in the car and tell us how it works.
