Break in period

scruffboy · 06-08-2007, 11:18 AM

I will be getting my baby back with her new head gasket today. It's been a week (the guy got busy, don't they all) and I have been sittin here droolin to go for a spin. Is there like a break in period or anything. I mean, like I wanted to go to the beach this weekend, but should I hold off on that, it's a pretty long drive and if the traffic gets heavy could be lots of stop and go. Anyway, he showed me the old gasket and it was blown out at six. If I recall that is where most of em fail, between 5 and 6, is that correct? Well, gotta fly to catch the damn bus but I should be driving by tonight. Later gang.

500 miles shifting at 3000 - 3500 rpms should be a good break-in period

I was hoping someone would get back to me on this.

There is no break-in period after just replacing the head gasket.

As one guy I know would put it, "take that bitch to redline and see if she holds".

Wow,

Talk about two extremes. I think I'll settle on something in between, but thanks.
