Drive fast, pass on the right. [emoji594][emoji100]
and thank you!
Not sure I'd take a steady speed road trip until you have it broken in with city driving. Can anyone tell me why you're not supposed to break a car in with steady speeds? I really don't know.
When I broke in a custom built boosted engine, it was highly recommend that the first 25-50 miles where driven as follows: first and second light accel, then 3rd light pull to 3/4 of the powerband and let the car decel while in gear (vacuum sucks the piston ring debris on the cylinder walls). Repeat 1, 2, 3rd a bit harder this time around. Repeat several times, the do a more aggressive 3rd pull and continue to a 4th gear pull. Don't punish the engine, just gradual increments. The idea behind it is to take advantage of the cross hatching on the piston walls, they work as a file that helps mold the rings. After this period, the hatching is not as effective. I did this method on a 4g63 that produced 650 bhp at 33PSI which lasted well over 25k miles before parting it out to be sold.
Interesting info. This seems pretty legit, I shall try it once my car arrives (hopefully in the next week or 2!)
Great info, thanks!
My count at 0 today. EDD tomorrow, 11/07. Production complete 10/14. Still shows "awaiting shipment". Have not seen any changes with respect to count or EDD on COTUS. My dealer states they have a "stock number" assigned which means they should see the vehicle within 2 weeks "typically". Ford Service states that it has not shipped, but nothing to worry about. :shrug: Would be nice to know really what's up. Oh well. And, like a bunch of us....the wait goes on......:headbonk:.
