PointByPatrol #21985 Build Journal! RIP #9243

[Rhorn]

The engine build is tentatively scheduled for this Saturday, provided I can obtain all of the final parts needed for assembly!

Any of you guru's have any recommendations for break-in oil? Something with a high zinc content?

This may be old school, but this has been my process in the past:

First oil fill is with nonsense garbage conventional oil, and is used for the first engine start. After running the engine for a few minutes to burp the coolant you then drain that oil, and replace the filter with a new one, and then fill up with a break-in oil and run on that oil for 500-1000 miles. Then you drain that oil and replace the filter and move on to regular oil.

@Two Step Performance sells some amazing titanium hardware! Swapping to all titanium for the valve cover and turbo to prevent broken studs in the future!

Bought a new fuel line from Honda and modified it for better flow!

Ended up going with something called Driven. 4Piston recommends it.

I’m super envious of your project. Enjoy!

You are really pushing this platform forward. Thanks for sharing your journey. We are all benefitting from the good, bad, and ugly.

Maybe I missed it, but can you share the specs of this motor?

Haha! Didn't feel that way! 13.5 hours of non-stop work!
