Look, you've lost credibility with me so I'm done with this, not to mention it's gone WAY off topic. And, no, the 10,000 cid 2-stroke is NOT a diesel engine. Guess again.

You lost your credibility with the poor grammar and "blah blah blah" quote. and you still haven't admitted to what ratio your 2 strokes run. I'm willing to bet its a hell of a lot more oil than 50:1 that goes in my leaf blower.

this **** has gotten out of hand.

i said the rings looked like **** because i did not want to go into detail & sound like you. i think the end gaps were around .050" and the moly coating was completely gone.

my block was finish honed with 400 grit stones, which leaves a shiny finish. the cylinder walls were still smooth with a shiny finish.

i don't know EVERYTHING about engines like you do. thats why i have a very good engine builder! but i'm sure you know way more about my motor then he does anyway.

Break-in Secrets

thats what ive always heard as well.

My brand new motor (436ci from ARE) was cylinder/ring washed when I first go it. Drove it for a couple days, when my friend standing in back of my car when I revved it saw raw fuel shoot out of both pipes about 4 feet and land on the ground wet. From day one I burned 1qrt every 100 miles. Had to have it rebuilt 3 months later by ARE (under warranty thank god), then it was tuned right and it broke in just fine.

If I were you I'd make damn sure you can't smell any raw fuel from the pipes. But it's probably too late now if you have that happening. From what I was told, you will gas wash it in the first day or two since rings really get seated (broken-in engine) in just a matter of miles. Supposedly my tune was "OK" too.
