brett_celicacoupe......whats your point??
how much is a lot of mileage? and what are you trying to say? synthetic in no-good? changing to synthetic too soon is no-good?
it is true that you can flog an engine almost straight away! my mechanic does v8 supercar engines and straight after a rebuild, engine dyno it is, for all engines! true again that long idling is no0good. all i'm saying is that, drive the engine normally. dont thrash, dont granny shift around! if the mechanic that rebuilt engine is good and fussy, he would have done the initial break-in for you.

Q: If break- in happens so quickly, why do you recommend using petroleum break- in oil for 1500 miles ??
A: Because while about 80% of the ring sealing takes place in the first hour of running the engine,
the last 20% of the process takes a longer time. Street riding isn't a controlled environment, so most of the mileage may
not be in "ring loading mode". Synthetic oil is so slippery that it actually "arrests" the break in process before the rings can seal completely. I've had a few customers who switched to synthetic oil too soon, and the rings never sealed properly no matter how hard they rode. Taking a new engine apart to re - ring it is the last thing anyone wants to do, so I recommend a lot
of mileage before switching to synthetic. It's really a "better safe than sorry" situation.
