bought an engine, just need to get it screw'd outa the zx and get it into the shed
was looking a wee bit of advice, asked in the chat there, been told to drive it standard for a week or so, basicly, an old man has owned it for the past 4-5 years, its never been above 50 in that time, prob never reved over 2.5k or 3k, it has been serviced well, and looked after. Im just wondering if you treat it the same as a petrol that hasnt been drove hard, would i be better running it a good couple weeks, driving it easy. I dont want to start wrecking piston rings and the likes
my first plan was to do timing belt, 11mm gov modded pump and fit the boost controller all before the engine went in, but im thinking now of dropping it in standard for a while and then do the work after a week or two
Thoughts?
