ive ordered MTI's C1 monday so it should be here thu or fri and i have the scoggin dickey spring kit. Im planning on putting it in this weekend . What should i do for break in ???

 

nuttin' because it's a roller cam. just be sure to heat cycle the springs before you give her the beans and make sure it's warmed up before you give it hell too.

 

what exactley do you call heat cycle?

 

drive it easy until it's completely warmed up not going over 4K and let it cool down overnight. do that a couple times and you should be good to go. but make sure it's warmed up good before you really can on it because the springs are stiffer and more brittle than the stockers. good luck man!!

 

couldnt i just warm it up and let it get room temp and do that 3 or 4 times . you dont think that would be ok?

 

i guess you could do that if you want to. do you have a heated garage or something? what do you mean by room temp? by overnight, i meant at least not start it to let everything cool down completely.

 

by room temp i meant let it get cool to the touch say 50-60 degrees or so

 

You'll be fine.. just make sure you give it a few hours to cool.. It's not rocket science, you just want to give the springs a chance to thermal cycle a couple times.

Just fire it up, let it run for a few minutes until it gets up to operating temp, then shut it off. Also, I think someone said it above, but when you're driving the car from now on, make sure you don't stab the throttle right out of the driveway, get the engine warm first to help ensure you don't *pop* a spring.

 

i guess that would be fine because i would assume that it doesn't get much cooler than that down south. any other questions?

 

thanx for all your info guys i cant wait to put it in and go play

 

when i put mine in ii had a spring break after 2 days. i think it was a weak spring so i swapped it out and good thing i didnt drop or bend a valve!

 

So you decided to do it! Sweet! You'll love it. Enjoy the new "*****".

 

WOT out of the garage is the recommened break in...

 

yeah i finally decided to get it but im kinda itchy about how its going to run on a stock tune

 

Understandably so, but I think it'll work out fine for you though. Once you nail it, the rest doesn't matter!

what kinds of issues did you have when you firt put it in before tuning?

 

with my new motor i just heat cycled it a few times and then took it to he track with less than 200 miles on it, hehe.
