As I understand it, the crate motors are tested before they ship, so there is already som break-in time there.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The dealership said there was no break-in service, but I failed to ask about a break-in period as far as speed, etc. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Use the same recommendations as in the owner's manual for a new car.

For ~500 miles no redlines. But you do need to drive it hard enough to get the parts to mate. As I understand it, the crate motors are tested before they ship, so there is already som break-in time there. -td

POST 4Original post

They test our motors( limited run time) before shipping new cars, correct.

POST 5Original post

They also verify the power(hp) it's making and pull those that aren't making the claimed output.

POST 6Original post

Drive the new engine gently until it is fully warmed up, and give it about 1K miles before you drive it like you stole it. I did not follow my own advice, and had a replacement motor self-destruct at 500 miles.

Z did you blow an engine with less than 500 miles??

+1 You never want to flog a new motor. The parts need to time to seat with each other and develop wear patterns.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
