It s very important to follow the instructions provided with your engine as it will cover all problems you may encounter.

Cleaning of the inlet is important so no caron deposits enter the new engine.

Checking the coils are working properly so the excess unburnt fuel doesn’t remove the protective oil layer inside the engine. It is advised to fit new coils with your new engine. Always use genuine coils.

Checking the catalytic converter is not broken apart will ensure free flowing exhaust. A blocked exhaust will cause back pressure slowing the engine, excess heat that will melt the exhaust ports in the engine and destroy the new seals very quickly.

Checking the oil is clean after your first starting of the engine will make sure all copper deposits from the previous engine are removed. Even a small amount of copper debris will quickly destroy the new bearings in the engine.

Cleaning out the oil lines from the OMP will ensure the protective oil is reaching the engine. A lot of failed engines can be traced down to this very problem.

Do not pre-mix with your fuel until after the run-in period.

Do not bump start the engine. Spinning the engine faster than the starter motor will produce very high compression and could damage the engine. New starter motors should spin at about 350-500 rpm.

On your first journey you may experience hot starts. This will clear up very quickly.

On a freshly rebuilt engine the compression will be low for a short period of time as the seals bed in to the rotor housings but it may take up to 5000km for the engine to reach its potential. Here is a diagram on a microscopic level.
