New Engine Got I
#1
OK if some of you remember last month i had the flooded FD with water (not fuel) I tried to have a mazda U-Boat. anyway after all the mess and weeks of crying myself to sleep in the place where i park my car. I went though mazda (insurance and warranty) and i got a new core with some new parts and I just got it back. I was wondering when i can put on my cat back exhaust and downpipe.
need some advice ,
i know i have to baby the engine for like 3000 miles to let the apex seal form properlly. i was wondering if i put the exhaust on would that effact the apex seal forming, also what else should i be carfull with, with the new motor.
should i keep it under 4500 rpm for the 3000 miles, (hope i can do that)
Thanks for any help

I beleive the break-in period is less than that.. I think it was like 500 miles, and then change the oil.. It is less because the rotary engine spins faster than a piston engine so more wear is happening...

You got a reman? Hmmm... Sweet!
While we're on this.... (more dumb questions)
What's the point of break in for so long? I mean 500-1000 miles? A good days driving (maybe 40 miles?) a full warm up... Regular driving for a period of time should put the parts through the same break in as hundreds of miles, shouldn't it? I mean... for the most part it's the heat that will be doing all the work... shouldn't a day or 2 be enough? Oil will be everywhere it should... the parts should do all the expanding/contracting they need.... please explain.

Yea, basically a break in should be.. no boost for 1k miles and then your fine.
I dont see any reason you can put your mods back on now.
Like I said though no boost for 1k miles.

The way I see it... I'd say no boost for the first 500 miles... light increasing to moderate until 1000 miles then moderate to full boost after 1000 miles... that's MY plan..
I hear so many different ways... I hear some people say "BREAK IN?, just drive it around a couple of miles and your good to go" BAH WTF?? Then I hear 1500 miles?? 2000 miles?? anyway..

damn no boost for 1000 miles. that like going out with a hot chick who doesnt belive in sex b4 marriage. either way it'll feel that much better in the end.
i wouldnt really know though i dont have too much patience, my 500mile break-ins are more like 300 low boost and 200 with 95%throttle then 100% nonstop
