BREAK-IN TIME

[pepper]

i was wandering how long it took you guys to break in yall's engine..
i just got a new os 91 PS to put in an x-spec and i am going to have to use a 24v just to get the sucker to turn over!!! i have had it hovering 2 times and it seems to run great, when it runs..

thanks

Well . . . . it all depends on the brands and such.

For instance, for OS it's generally about 2 tanks and for TT it's generally about 2 years (running continuously, of course!).

:lol:

That is funny Glenn! :D

Add some shims to bring it up to .024 if you are running Magnum or CP and as an added benefit, it is nuch easier to start. :)

i am running CP, where do i get the shims?

Pepper,
If your using the stock head ( blue) that came with the PS you do not need additional shimming. If your using the Viperhead dual plug you might need some additional shims.

I am running the OS Cspec PS with the stock head and CP 25% fuel and it runs great. I have a Hatori SB16 muffler on the engine. With the fuel I am using I have found the main needle to be adjusted in the 1 1/4 range.
