Run in?
Ive just finished rebuilding my engine with JE pistons + eagle rods etc for boost.
How many miles 'running in' would you guys recommend? i was thinking 1000 miles and a 3k rpm limiter? it wouldnt boost untill 4k.

ideally you want to do a break in on the dyno then immediately tune. the rings will seat in the first few minutes. if they dont they never will.

So when you say a 'break in' on the dyno, how long/miles and what revs should i be doing??
Ive been told by someone else to run in for 1k miles with no boost and a 3000prm limiter??
So assuming the tune is good, i should be driving it hard straight away?
