Default Steve40th back on the road again

Well, motor is running good so far. No oil or water or even exhaust leaks. I am going ot drive around the state today, well the little island of Oahu, and see what happens. I let it run throught the heat cycle of the fans going on and off and oil up to 200 degrees, and I am going to let it cool down, and then go drive. Any suggestions for "Break in", let me know. Thanks

sounds good :cheers:

i don't think there'd be much in the way of a break in for the new parts, i'd just drive it like you allways do.
