Hi List,
Just finally finished swaping a rebuilt '54 235 straight six motor for
the 42' 216 straight six that threw a piston rod.
The WWII manual says to keep the speed below 20 Mph for the first 200
miles and below 30 mph for the next 300 miles, then a top speed of 35
mph is ok.
I will probably die of old age before I finish 500 miles on the truck.
What would a comparable engine run time be for break in, in leiu of
actual milage. NOTE: the tranny and driveline are already broken in.
If I have the truck running for time, how often should I reve it up?
or run it at a highr RPm using the throttle?
You get the picture of what I need to do.....
Suggestions?
Cheers,
Jim
