Break-in on a rebuilt rebuild?
#1
I'm doing a rebuild on a motor that was rebuilt and had a coolant seal failure after only 3K mi. (see my prev. thread 'bad rebuild?'
The intermediate housing needed replacing and was replaced with a newly resurfaced housing. All the soft seals and orings are being replaced but side seals, apex seals, bearings, thrust washers, and oil control rings will be reused. The rotor housings were new when the first rebuild was done and all the seals and rotors were tracked and will be replaced back in the same locations as the first rebuild.
So my question is, what kind of break-in do I need to do, if any?

Before taking my motors past 20 psi, I have made a point of breaking them in for at least 700 or 800 inches...Its about that far from my garage to the first stop sign..
