[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 55130, member: 597"] Thanks for the comments guys, Yes Roy is correct.....I guess the last thing anyone wants is their engine to Nip up, and a road engine needs to survive on the road for a long time, so a more careful break in time is wise, although all new engines I build, I don't recommend babying them either. I think a lot comes down to the climate we live in as well, so because I live in a hot climate, I always give the pistons a touch more clearance than stated in the piston manufacturer's specs. I don't think that for my first outing on the racer, that I thrashed it.....but I didn't muck around, and also the track was a short one, and it was a cold weekend. Having been a mechanic all my life ( from about the age of 6....) I think you can tell how to "Push" something you have built yourself. That's what makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable.....It's just not everyday you build something this quick and with beauty to match....the attention it gets from others is quite something else, and that is a nice side affect......Greg.
