F22A1 Turbo

Just replying to your PM now Anthony - not the answer you want though bud.

And that sleeved block was a good buy indeed! £750ish for that is amazing. Did Bisimoto donate them a block or something because of the mess up? Very jealous indeed!

I feel your pain on the spending, my parts list (an associated cost spreadsheet) should be binned - makes me cry everytime I look at it!

Does it include the storage overheads?









(nb: I shouldn't comment, I think my longest stored car has been in storage now for... 16 years )

Can anybody recommended a good mineral oil to break in my engine? And rob, in the crate where the bare block was in was a paper with tips to break it in properly and 2 values i shouldn't exceed, 80 psi of boost and 1300 engine horsepower :p

[nucleustylzlude]

Is that all? So you'll stick to a reserved 70psi then! Ha!

Golden Eagle blocks are one of the best out there. What I'd potentially look at if I go further, just Mahle golds would be cheaper.

As for mineral oil, no clue, never had a freshly built engine. Not many on here that have.

I have, but couldn't tell you if Rich used a mineral oil for break-in. It uses 0w-40 fully synth though if that's any help

Last engine I rebuilt (not an h22), I still used magnatec in it for the first 500 miles change.

[wautraets]

Wel in the paper from golden eagle, they strongly insist on using mineral oil for the first 3000 miles

[wurlycorner]

Definitely go with that then, just use any decent brand, Shell, Mobil, Comma etc. and you won't go wrong?
