Greetings All,
First, thank you for all the insight, I've been all over the net, from Lycoming to Glastar. It seems that the break in is to seat the rings and if it's not done correctly the cylinder walls will glaze and the rings will never seat. One can start the engine up for short runs monitoring the temperature until the "break-in" can be done. We're not talking about 3 or 4 years, just a few runs not to exceed 3 minutes each and turning the engine off. I believe with smaller engines (rotax) you can tie them to a pole. Again, Thanks to all, without all the input I would still be going in circles. david "David Koehler" wrote in message ... Hi All, I'm not there yet, but, I have a new Lycoming O-360 and in the process of building a homebuilt kit. Lycoming says to break in the engine at full power and gives procedures on how to do it. The kit needs slow taxi, then fast taxi, glazing of the brakes. After take off there are procedures to do at lower power.... I know I'm not the FIRST in this dilemma, so what takes a preference? If you wait to do the full power to seat the rings, is that ok? Thanks for any response, I'm at a loss, david |
