BenKey Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I would hope for your sake that your motor is not too excessively rich. Running that way on a new motor will damage it. Especially crucial during the first few hundred miles. How do you think I ended up with a 410 vs the 408 I started with? Have you changed the oil yet? How did it look? Grayish in color, smell like fuel a little? There'd be no way that I'd be driving around having to two-foot it all the way. The longer you go like that, the longer you're risking damage. But, that's JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have changed the oil 3 times once at 30 miles, once at ~400 and then at ~1400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 That sounds pretty darn rich to me, but I won't debate it. Just letting you know what could happen. Bottom line, driving around on an ill-tuned new motor can't be good for it's long-term health. Your dollar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been parked every since. It is going to parked till I get the new trans in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped alot of coin on building this motor which I did myself and then getting it up and running and blow the trans(well no WOT) so I was a little mad. Now its just going to give me more time to do the other things I wanted to do. I may just go ahead while its down and do the SSR 90mm intake and a UMI 90mm tb along with a 34" rad and 05 efans and since I have to drain the radiator might as well put a bigger cam in too Guess you didnt read the title well or something as far as my power plant goes I dont like to put all the mod bs in my sig cause its too long and I like to keep people guessing who dont know me. For those that know anything about motors they will know the cam clip in my sig will not be in a stock motor Ill let you know when its back up in running would be fun to race you dad No hard feelings man just a bad day and alot of other shit going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
