Running-in period for re-con diesel engine
Posted: 30 Dec 2011, 18:17
Hi all.
Have just had a re-con AAZ 1.9TD engine and head fitted to my high-top van. The engine re-builders specify a 600mile running-in period of not exceeding 3000rpm and an oil and filter change at that point. They haven't mentioned any re-torquing of head bolts though.
Is this an ok running-in period before I can progress to giddy speeds of 60mph? They also stipulate running it on quality mineral 15/40 oil with quality filter which I'm happy with.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and Happy New Year to all and your vans.
