jrod Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just wondering should i just run the normal mix, or should it be diffrent for a new motor. Thanks, Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 the same mix your going to be running. no need to change it. Too much oil on breakin is worse then what most people think. It does nto allow the rings to wear properly to get a nice snug seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskyohilux Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 32:1 is what i run that sound about right. 1:32 is a good mixture. That's what most people run, I guess It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollinRhino Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 The factory has the carbs jetted for 32:1 mix. Start from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhc500 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I read somewhere (cant remember) that 32:1 is a good break-in mixture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onesickcrewcab Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 32:1 is a good all around mixture. Been running it for years. No problems yet. Well not with the mixture and ceasing I should say. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippewaTSI94 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Please show me the study that proved synthetic oil doesn't allow a motor to break in properly. Good luck, because there isn't one. In fact there is no hard and fast study that's ever proved or disproved any of the conventional "engine break-in" procedures that people so religiously follow. First of all, it's a two stroke engine, not an F1 motor. The tolerances of the rings and pistons in the bore are incredibly loose in comparison to even a lawnmower engine, let alone a production vehicle engine. You can't apply the same principles broad-base to all engine designs. It's funny how crazy some people go with breaking in their motors and almost nobody does the same thing when they take a car home from the dealership. Granted, most OEM produced engines use plateau honing on the bores which causes almost instantaneous ring seating, but even without that, piston rings wear themselves into the bores in a surprisingly short amount of time. The best method for breaking in a motor is to use exactly the type of oil and amount that you plan on running for the life of the engine. To all those naysayers who want to claim otherwise, guess what comes in your Corvette, SKyline, Lancer Evo, BMW or Ferrari straight from the factory? Mobil 1 synthetic; since the auto manufacturers invest millions of dollars into engine development, I'd say that's a pretty good standard to follow.
