Running in after new Timing belt
« on: February 25, 2010, 03:01:06 pm »
The motor is in the dealer today having the budgie removed from the engine.   :rolleye: Actually I have been fortunante enough to have the, belt, roller, tensioner and water pump all replaced under warranty meaning I can use the money I was budgeting for this next year for something else  :evilgrin:

Anyway would I need to run the car in for a period of miles after this work or should I just re-engage performance mode in REVO and go for it??
