Hi,

I'm getting my engine rebuilt with forged pistons and forged rods. Dont think its going to be ready until the 01/05 at the earliest. I have a track session booked for japfest@castle combe on the 16/05. Its only a 15 min session. How many miles do you think i should do before it gets its legs streched round combe??? Cheers

 

With that amount of time, you should be able to easily put 1500 miles on it including oil changes, then have it remapped to unleash the full potential of the engine.

i know Steven Darley has been using this procedure for years, would be intrested in some info on this as well as i will be running in one quite soon, personally i think 1500 miles is too much...wayyyy to much!

 

I used this approach too on the forged 2.5 I built. 9 months later and still going strong with 400lbft torque.
