Message: [QUOTE="elrodalexander73, post: 1420719, member: 16217"] What I mean by break in is the oil consumption virtually stopped. First 3 oil changes engine went through 1 qt to 1.5 qts. I haven't removed pistons yet. 15/40w oil was used to coat the skirts and I measured all ring gaps.. Every single piston ring was gapped. And the scoring when assembling was in various areas of the cylinder. I had made note that the rings were exceptionally hard. The rings are a real dark compound type coating. The engine at the time of tear down and inspection used no oil. The extra fuel did turn the oil a little blacker than I had liked but the engine had zero blow by steam at all which is surprising. I wish my dumbass could have taken a video to show you guys at operating temp. The exhaust ports show no signs of oil residue and the valves as you can see have no white ash/ oil build up. I am calling mahle clevite today to ask a few questions in Novi Mi [/QUOTE]
