So I've searched on the web and can't find anything. I've seen a video on FB but that's it. Basically preheat the motor over 200, pull the plug, few drops of good oil in the carb, top of piston, exhaust port then cap. Chuck onto crank and let it rip for a few and plug the carb to create suction. And more oil then repeat. Kill a cordless battery and you're good to hit the track. Sounds logical but like I've said, I can't find any info. Too easy to be true?

I think the loss of heat in the motor, will lead to a premature and incorrect wear of the Piston to Sleeve??? From there the only heat being generated is friction, without consistent lubrication.

I think this is the reason, many of the more diehard guys invested into the Break-in machine, with the heated submerged oil, etc.

- Roelof may have something to add.

But if you keep the heater on the temp should be consistent

I would say that you want the engine to actually be running so that it can flush out all the little metal particles instead of them bouncing around in the combustion chamber.

I wouldn't do it personally. With a traditional overly rich break in you're getting lubrication to the engine all the time. Without constant lubrication it sounds risky.

Adam Drakes engine break in method on youtube is about as easy as it gets. No need to reinvent the wheel if you ask me.

Oh?

Well, the methode is old but it is more like a quick and dirty way to get rid of the first hard pinch. If you want to do a good break-in you have to add oil continious and keep the engine on temperature.
Me and my friend have builded a machine where the engine is placed in a temperature controled oil bath and indeed driven by an electric motor.

+ YouTube Video

I only have made one for my self and yet 2 for friends. My friend has started a first batch of 25 and is now busy with a batch of 100 pieces, look on Facebook to "EBIS"

The idea is the same of the drill methode but much better. The result is that afterwards only 2 or 3 tanks on the track is needed to tune the engine to race speed.

I am not alowed to tell more but I have heard he is comming with a new video soon

this is one of them don't knock it until you try it deals.... I was skeptical at first to say the lease until I seen it done locally on several engines with great results and then did it myself on my last 3 engines with the same awesome results.... no stress on the rod during the initial tight pinch break in, first engine I did has over 11 gallons on it with zero rebuild and is still going strong in my nephews buggy, other engine has over 6 gallons on it and was just moved from my buggy to truggy this past weekend in favor of the new Bullitt B221. And from what I heave been told by some well known engines modders/tuners is this method is used a lot more than people know.

why would you do this anyway?

i can tell you who one of the first to do this is

No wear on the car, no noise, no smoke, no wasted fuel.. probably other reasons.
