What happens if you bone out the the 2nd day?..

[MMAfighter]

Just got me car, and my cousin advised me not to go past the red line when I first get the car until after 3000 miles, but I did it the second day?

Will anything happen, like the engine is already screwed up? Thanks guys.

hope your still under warranty...

[MMAfighter]

well everything is fine...Just wondering though lol.

Google "Hard break-in"

[revelations]

^ as per above

Now go do it again, but this time downshift all the way down to idle......thus using engine compression to seal the rings.

I wouldnt recommend redlining it though.

(again, only if you subscribe to the 'hard break-in' belief - and make sure your engine is properly warmed up)

[UndrgroundRider]

Going up to redline briefly won't hurt anything. It's sustained usage over the RPM break-in limit that will really hurt things. Read your owners manual, it has the manufacture's recommended break-in instructions.

I personally would not do the "hard break-in" on a daily driver.

I don't think I would ever go past the redline. It's there for a reason, and the power drops off rapidly past the redline.

Word... IE power band... Even when my engine is worked in I don't go past redline.

when i first got my new car i bounced it off the rev limiter for a good 10 min. Gave me 5-8 rwhp

[Cooked Rice]

its usually just past redline... ex: my redline is 7400 but my fuel cutoff (rev limiter) isnt till like 8000

[SkittleFreak]

Or going from redline 3rd gear to 2nd gear...

That engine didnt last long

[gretz]

ive done the old 3rd to 2nd in a 5.0 stang, no money shift, just a locked up rear end for a split second until i realized what i did.
