Rotary Engine Run In!

Mazdabater · 04-27-2011, 03:22 AM

With my engine coming back from overhaul I figured that I would ask you guys whats your opinion on running them in. Originally I was told to run it for an hour, do an oil/filter change. Another at 500kms and then one more at 1000kms and its good to go, however to keep right off the boost untill 1000kms.

Then talking to a mate today and he was telling me that when you rebuild a dirt bike they are good to go pretty much after startup.

All I'm wondering is how long do you really need to run them in for, surely most of it would get done within 300kms. Even only doing 3000rpm is surely going to bed into the housings quite fast.
