Any running in advice? Keeping it under 3K with no heavy loads and varied RPM. Anything else?

Need to get the summer wheels on now..!

Wow, new engine, in the end that's a great result!zmaster007 wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2019 6:04 pm It was a new engine - parts came out more expensive. The Millers report I did stated w50. I never heard the result of the test the dealer did via Shell. I’ve attached the wear report if anyone wants to compare it to theirs. This is oil that was 200 miles old and two confirmed bearing failures. Do these numbers seem in the right ballpark?![]()

Carport came with the house I’m afraid!Monster666 wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2019 6:57 pm Going off at a tangent - did you build the carport yourself? I'm thinking about doing something like that.![]()
Unfortunately the ancillaries and plastics have all been transferred over so it pretty much looks exactly the same! Only thing I've noticed is a smoother sounding valvetrain, otherwise could not tell that it is a new engine. It even still has the low rev stutter every now and again.-Tom- wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2019 10:16 pm Great result after some shocking treatment of the car.
