got my motor together and it runs rough when i first start it up but after about a minute it smooths out. it also has no power when taking off. i have to ride the clutch or it will die. i just re ringed it and put rod bearings in it. any help????
yea i took it on a backroad and went from 20-50 in third gear probly about 20 times. it only has 150 miles on it so far. and its coming out of it a little at a time.
your supposed to go throughout the whole rpm range under full throttle then off the throttle,tha vacuum in the engine will seat the rings properly,you wernt beating on it where you? I wouldn't take a freshly rebuilt motor over 3500rpm for at least a 1000 miles until you know the pistons are properly seated
It's easier with the transmission attached. Is the head already off? If so, find an open bolt hole.
