[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul W[/i] lee303 over on mig has a pretty good description of how he ran his xe1 nova in by heavy loading. It wasn't just 'giving it death' so to speak. Here's what he posted he did. [quote]bedding in procedure that i will be doing tomorrow is as follows fill engine with running in oil or very cheap mineral oil, start engine and do cam running in which is hold engine at 2000 rpm for one minute 1500 rpm for one minute 3000 rpm for one minute 2000 rpm for one minute then then engine should be pretty warmed up as well, so its a perfect time to bed the rings drive car onto the road, select third and floor the throttle as low in the rev range as the engine will allow, and keep it pinned till about 3/4 of the rev range, then snap the throttle shut and let the engine coast right down, repeat process 12 - 15 times, keeping an eye on temps obviously theory behind the process is that as you matt the throttle the cylinder pressures increase massively forcing the rings out against the bore walls, then when you snap the throttle shut you cause a vaucuum in the chambers which draws oil up the bores to prevent glazing once this is completed, change the oil and filter to some vaux semi or similar, and run the engine for 500 miles or so driving pretty normally up to around 3/4 of the rev range and 3/4 throttle, varying the load on the engine as much as possible after that., flush and change the oil and filter and swap to whatever you intend to run the engine on, and your done[/quote] whether it actually makes a difference i don't know, the theory behind seems sound enough though.
