just started my zimax engine

just started my engine.........it took us two days to swap the engine..........started right up (didnt need to prime the fuel line)..........good vaccum
(- 41 cm hg) and oil pressure..........its idling superbly (no hunting).........a lot of smoke at start up.........now its all gone.

I just have one question.

Is it okay if i run my 7 with the A/C on. I hardly have 10km on the rebuild. I wont be going past 3k rpm neither am i going to boost it. However is it okay if i use my a/c?

will be posting lots of pics as soon as i can figure out how to.

Now all it needs is a good paint job. And i'm thinking about a nice shade of titanium grey.

Another interesting thing was the labor cost. I paid a labor bill of $180 for the full swap and that includes coolant and engine oil. (i'm running dino for the breakin)

will be taking it out for a ride tonight.

What makes a Zimax engine a Zimax??


BTW. I know this is on going debate. But..
From alot of reputable people, I hear, that
Rotaries don't require breakin like conventional
motors.. SO get to boosting.. = )

Running the AC is not a problem. It just puts a slight load on the engine and should not affect break-in whatsoever.
