So after lots and lots of reading i dicided to start this thread.
MOST people out there(not in MBc) say that there is no point in doing break in and never have problem and many people that say that they doing or did break in did have problems
my local machinery shops says it is not needed and i worked there for a long time and he has 100% feedback and never blow or seized an engine, every new engine that he gets out off the box he just puts fuel in then start and rev the **** out of it(Im always scared when he does that to a 800$$$ machine)
My local scooter shop dosent know what break in is and never did to any bike and nothing never happens to him
BUT here in MBc every talks about it as if it was the most important part of an engines life and i have seen lots of then seized
Im not saying that we doing anything wrong but is it just the quality of engines we use or what?
and when i talk to my dad about 500km break in periods he goes crazy!
He raced 2 stroke go karts(not toys :helmet and racing modified 4 stroke hondas back in the 70s 80s and 90 and the break in peorids used to last 15min with the revs up and down around the track and then after that just rev it full and he never seized one up(he did that to tonnes of then with sucess)
So what is the real break in time suposed to be?
and does an engine really improve after break in?
I dont mean to sound stupid in this thread and i believe break in are essencial but it just dosent make sense how other peoples engine dont get damaged including those kids on youtube that get their minimotos and HTs out of the box and rev then to red line all they long with no problems at all
and what about extra oil in the mix for 2 strokes or only mineral oil or fully syntetic for four stroke?
IS IT REALLY NEED?(i know it is but that will probably help someone in the future when they read this thread)
Has anyboby ever had sucess running an engine with out doing break in?
I can really awser most questions that im asking because all the engines that i get are old and worn out but i read alot of stuff saing yes its vital for the engine BUT also read alot of people saing WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
(Hope you didnt get bored after reading all that)
