I just fired 300 up for the first time.
Took a little bit but it finally settled down and ran. I ran it enough to get the fans to come on 2x then shut it down. Will let it cool then maybe run another heat cycle?
Question .........how to break it in?
Will running it on the lift without a load like
running down the street and varying throttle up and down cause the rings to not seat since it doesn't have a load on it? Kinda cold up here now , expecting snow so it may be 2-3 months before I can get it on the road at my age.
Also the radiator hoses and clamps are seeping a little. Grrrr. Time for new hoses and clamps ? Or keep tighten them till they seal?
Are there better hoses available? Think I saw Silicone ones advertised somewhere? NZ ?
It's a 2015 2nd batch to come thru CSC I believe.
At 16,700 miles on it now.
Now maybe I can keep up with Orlando and Thelma and the Berkster
thanks for all your help guys, rj
