I might be coming up, I could certainly do with some chrome windscreen trims, and also the crome bits that go up the outside of the car too.

I'm not sure though, whether doing a long motorway journey in my rebuilt engine (due to be fitted next weekend) is going to be bad for it. Particularly after it will have only done about 100 miles. I don't want to jeopardise all my hard work and all the info says avoid long motorway journeys.

should be ok if you take it easy (keep the revs down ), make a couple of stops , at least the new engine will be run in that much sooner (possibly by the time you get home )

i would have thought a long journey at, say 60 (if you can keep to that) would be just what an engine needs to get itself all sorted out.. maybe by motorway they mean pushing it hard? 60 in a b200k is not even 2,500 revs :)

I believe the key thing is to keep the revs varied in order to let the rings bed in correctly. You don't want to be redlining the thing when it's so fresh, but keep trying different gears (2 mins in 5th, 2 mins in 4th, and repeat, etc), and try coasting down the hills. Also, don't be afraid to rev it moderately. Also perhaps plan a couple of sections not on the motorway. I'd not top 4500, but heading in that direction occasionally (pulling onto the motorway, etc) will probably do it some good.

cheers

yeah, I dunno, also, the advice is to try and keep journeys reasonably short.

The key thing is to vary the revs and the loads, ie, normal town driving. A long motorway cruise is not what the engine needs, otherwise, in theory the rings don't get loaded enough to bed in and then they glaze the bores, which means all that machining was a waste of time/money.

Erm, not sure yet.

I think you'd be ok as long as you took care not to cruise! It might well pee off other motorists, but varying your speed puts the engine under hugely more load than just sitting at a constant speed. Personally, I'd make the trip, but keep stopping, vary my motorway driving style as much as I can, and plan a couple of A-road stints en-route.

Alternatively, the A40 or A44 might be more direct anyway, depending on exactly where you are in London?

cheers

doesnt look like I will be taking my 340, but I will still be going with the old man in his 245 with 245 trailer.
On the subject of running in the engine, a new cars engine is bench run in by connecting to a motor and run in at a constant 2000-2500rpm. A long motor way run would be a good way to run your new engine, just take it steady.

That's true, but I suspect it's more to do with something that's easy, rather than what's best. Either way, I doubt you can do much damage! I've certainly read many times that varied revs and loads are the key, although I don't pretend to understand exactly why.

See you there Dai!

cheers

It's all weekend, but only if you're part of the caravan and camping section :roll: It's just a social occasion (they usually have a band and a hog roast) until the Sunday....when the serious under-bonnet polishing begins ;-)
