I think the consensus was drive it quite hard on a new engine, bed the rings in and stop high oil usage long term
TTE ftw :happy2:

Thanks @fab5freddy I've used millers 10w40 running in oil for 30 miles then dropped another lot of running in oil and ran that for 180 miles then changed it for fully synthetic, now to drive it the Crucial miles for wearing in is the first 50 or so, I could see the swarf in the oil when I changed it,
@Pudding I'll buy your tte420 if you don't want it :wink: I can pm the price of the engine..
I brought it from TPS also the ecu will adapt to the lower compression ratios and it runs very well except the runner flap delete currently hasn't been mapped out yet..
cheers @ducman77 brought the engine from tps I didn't want to buy a second hand unit because you don't know what's happened to them :thinking:

I've PM'd you mate.
The swarf is probably bearing crumbs? Shouldn't be much piston ring / cylinder dust as the factory do a decent hone job on these. I really wouldn't advise the aggressive bed in method. Drive it normally and avoid maximum load, labouring, and maximum revs. Do lots of over-running too so that the PCV vacuum pulls the rings onto the cylinders for extra bedding in.

I've got a TTE420 as well but I've been pondering whether or not I should stick it on my 108K old BYD engine, which also has an uncertain past.
TTE420s see around 300lbft by 3000rpm and up in the 400s by 4000rpm, and holds a good slug of it to the limiter, so well worth doing.
I don't think even a CDL will hold a TTE420 indefinitely though, but it'll be fun whilst it lasts!

I agree.... i think it would make more sense to rebuild the AXX block with forged rods and pistons but a bit too late now though lol
