Another break in recommendation, but mines different.
I bought a used motor with 4000 miles on it, and took it apart, and rebuilt it with a rotary mechanic. He said the apex seals had hardly any wear on them or side wear. I re used all apex seals. I replaced one side seal from a used motor, but all were used and with in specs. The housing were in good shape also with hardly any wear.Replaced all rubber seals, Do i still need to break in the motor? Motor is a streetport. and i'm installing my R85 also with 850/1600 injectors, and using Apex PFC/commander and have dataloggit. I have received a map from stevenoz for the R85. I bought a 3 bar map sensor also, this map was setup for it also. Do you think i should install the r85 map and breakin the motor with it? I have the new PFC so i have the updated basemap, but since i have bigger injectors that probably won't work, even if i change the setting for bigger injectors won't the base map be off then? Also i have read that you break in clutches also. I'm thinking of going with exedy twin plate, and read that you have to do a few 5000 rpm launches to break them in after you do the low rpm break in first. But you don't want to do that when breaking in a motor, So what is recommended to break in a motor and a high performance clutch at the same time
