Not going to run it in ?

[VXR SIX]

Don't forget to order your free-flow exhausts! Out in a month or so.

No need to run them in, already done for you on a bench

[VXR SIX]

No need to run in at all?

Not only do certain parts of the engine need bedding down, but other parts of the car, like brakes should be worn-in more gently from new, too.

I could be wrong about the need to run the engine in, but I can't believe that no running-in is needed on a 6.0 V8 motor, but am happy to stand corrected if necessary.

Interesting and important subject, so I have started a dedicated thread in the general forum.

Seems like running-in is vital, as I had suspected.

Where the heck is the 'general' forum?

There is a forum for GENERAL GASSING.

So, erm, GENERAL, as in any topic I guess !

[R-Jay]

Found it cheers

The problem was that I have been using this site on the URL www.hsv.org.uk/ rather than through PistonHeads where the Gassing Forum is...

[VXR SIX]

No Probs!

Yes I am taking it very easy with the car.
The ref to "Warp Drive" was only tonge in cheek,
but thank you for your concern.

Only doing town driving today, and not been able
to get in 6th gear yet.
