I have no experience with LM based motors, RichardE has.

So far the experience is that some engines need more time and sometimes you must not get fooled with the pinch, the first start will always be much easier and the break-in takes only a few tanks.

Hello, I also have a ebis machine I have used with alot of different engines. They all are act different from one another. I have found the nova engines take much more time. I have done 4 novarossi engines and most took between 8-11 hrs to complete. OS engines I do for 4-6 hours. LM engines are like sirios, very very tight and i would make sure to heat to 95c or more before starting at 200 rpm for a little bit of time before speeding up. If they are like the novarossi, you will alot more time. Hope this helps

Is the oil circulated and filtered in the EBIS machine?

No it doesnt filter oil. And oil after use is still clean. I prefer not to reuse the oil just to be sure.

If you have an air compressor it is wise to blow out all the screw holes on the crankcase, from making the screw thread some dirt will stay behind. but no, no filter is needed. When I have to do 2 or 3 engines I will use the same oil, it is clean enough..

Thanks for the reply.

Looking forward to get mine...But don't know where I stand in the waiting list....

They take aome time to complete but well worth the wait. Richard builds a work of art and you will be pleased.

He is indeed very busy, a lot of evening and weekend hours are spend. You can follow some the progress on the EBIS facebook page.

I have the opportunity to run an Ielasi tuned 9CL WC that's run-in by the EBIS system. Love it so much. Can't go back to the traditional run-in method.

Why is the price of the units such a secret ? Why did the Break In Dutch guys videos FB page and other stuff get removed / go dark?

Will the EBIS guy ship to America?

Can the temperature be adjusted by the user? If so, what is the range?

Also, can the load and rpm be adjusted?

Does the machine give you a load reading so you have some idea how "loose" your engine is?

These are questions you should ask in the EBIS topic but I believe the selling price is 600 euro. And yes, several are already shipped to the US
The guy behind the original "Dutch break in system" did take down all his stuff but I can not tell you why.

If you did read this topic about my machine, there is a temperature controler that goes up to 115 degrees celcius max but normally to 100 degrees. There is a motor controler and I can adjust it from 0 to max 900rpm after the belt transmission. And yes, I have a load indicator.

I can not tell exactly about the EBIS but I believe it can go up to 200 degrees celcius, 1000 rpm and it has no load indication. Basically if you let it run for 4 hours or longer it must be OK.

What do you mean with an adjustable load?

The 2nd I made was a 1st start from Richard I finished for a friend when Richard decided to change his design. It is based on a simple transmission motor with a 550 motor at a 400rpm on the output shaft, no rpm control wich is not needed with that rpm. It has still a load indicator and temperature controler. Currently I am working on another 2 based on this same design (see attagement)

Hello, yes he will ship to US. I bought one last year no problem.

Thanks for that .... appreciated

Thank you for all the info you've shared and answering my queries.

In regard to the reasons why Break In Dutch removed all his stuff and Fb page - you cannot answer me because - u r under some form of agreement like an NDA to not discuss - or you do not know why he did it ?


Also, any idea why the elaborate "stepper" motor was used? seems a bit over-kill and over complicating things ? How and why did u select the motor you are using? The firm that sells them [ the motors you use ] doesnt ship to USA - meh ....

couldnt one use a brushed or brushless motor to handle this task - say with a older ESC and old spektrum radio + rx to power and adjust speed? sure u might not know exact rpms etc - but ....

Are those motors not strong enough or controllable enough to be used?

the mystery / black box in all this for me - is the controlling mechanism thats being used.
