D is a great guy, he tuned my car.Hard to listen to, I think I got to the 3rd time he said ‘ead, then turned off lol What’s wrong with the letter ‘H’
Good questions. I always thought the manufacturer break-in periods were way overly cautious. But I'm not sure. I suppose the motor in the video is a big step up from the standard CoyoteI saw this video, seems a bit odd to remove the oil squirters in my opinion. Surely the extra cooling would offer more protection for the pistons, which in a big power build I would've thought is ideal? He said it was a potential failure point but they're literally little metal tubes, you'd have to get seriously unlucky for one to break. The running in process seems a bit unusual as well, if it works it works but I'm not sure I'd want to do full power tuning and dyno runs on an engine that's only had 45 minutes of run-in time on a dyno. You see things like the C8 Corvette that raises the redline as you go past X amount of miles and deliberately keeps it low for the first few hundred to run the engine in. If it works it works, it just seems to go against what most manufacturers request on new cars and they've got vast R&D budgets and test facilities, I doubt they'd do things like that without a good reason. Would be interested to hear what other engine builders prefer to do with a freshly built engine
as well.OEMs warranty an engine for 60k miles or 5yr? Your avg tuner likely 3mnths and if it's a big power motor, zero warranty.Good questions. I always thought the manufacturer break-in periods were way overly cautious. But I'm not sure. I suppose the motor in the video is a big step up from the standard Coyote
100percent keep the oil squirters, could not agree more
