I haven't broken it yet! I beat on it from the start. It's a used motor, I need to know if it's going to hang together.
There's really nothing to break in. Let's just say the fuel cut works lol.
Chip, fuel cut is when the ECU shuts you down because you disregarded the redline! In this case the recommended limit is 6800 RPM. At 7200 it lets off the gas for you, since you weren't smart enough to do it yourself... also called rev limiter.
Funny story: we had a new GMC pickup back in '95, and it would shut you down at 100 mph. Common, at least for GMs in those years. My buddy's '01 was the same.
Anyway, we were headed back home from Texas in pebbleswagon a few years back. I was traveling along in the left lane of 20, doing maybe 75 and passing a long line of trucks. this goober in a GM pickup gets right up on my ass and starts flashing lights and stuff.
I just put 'er up past 100 and dropped the dumbass. Nobody suspects the wagon.
ohhh thats what happens when Scrappy bogs down ..
man thats to funny the guy must not of know his GM truck would cut off like that ... i would of cried laughing when his lights got further back ....
so im guessing the Cnote is all prepped and ready for the trip ....??
i saw the metal whittling you did on the parts the engine mounts to that relieved the buzz ....
Bam asked me to post. He sent me a pic of the c-note rig with camper from SUMMIT RACING parking lot @ 1:40 pm est. Gonna try and make it to 3rd4ce's place near Tampa.
Scrappy bout to have some company!

the BFH seems to be the most used tool in your box i think ....

Last night I installed the modded ECU and reset timing and idle bleed. Along with a tank of 93, it's an eye-opener!
Today I'll do the rear brakes, remove the rear seats, swap out the head unit for a usb one, etc.
here's a shot right after I put out the fire
of course, my buddy couldn't resist
the pump is in, after all
Scrappy bout to have some company!
spent last night at 3rd4ce's place
had an uneventful trip mechanicalwise. The new B20 ran great, used no oil, and pulled like a champ. 16.4 mpg.
glad you had a safe trip.
Now goldie is a whole different story...
but
why would Goldie be a different story .....
how old til your creme wagon is XMT..??
