dewnani Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Not really if you have change the Piston rings, crank bearing, connecting rod bearing etc too then atleast 1000 km running in must. Only head gasket sets in half an hour of first drive. Still better drive easy for first 100 -200km. thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
207_gti Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 its better to be safe than sorry....if, at any time, on any engine, u replace a major part, take at least 1000kms to run it in...no more than 120km/h and no higher than 4000RPM ADAPT Performance - Power Unleashed SOFTWARE TUNING & PERFORMANCE PARTS www.adaptperformance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
