Dear Fbody friends,
I just picked up my racecar from the shop here in Atlanta, they did a GREAT job and put the whole rear end back together for me with the NEW posi unit that I bought here on the board from LS1RAFTRACER. They suggested that I give the rear end 200 miles to 'break in the new bearings' and seals. So.. My car is NOT street legal, i'm curious HOW DO I DO THAT? Seriously, I asked these guys at the shop and they said it needed AT A MINIMUM 2 HEAT CYCLES to completely get the break in period. So, do I run the next 2 events in Atlanta Solo2 at 'street pace'? OR drive around the neighborhood 200 times? do you have any other ideas? OR do you think they are being silly. I am worried about the gears seating properly so I guess I'm listening to the guys that know. What do you guys in the know think? Brian |

I drove the 2 miles from the shop in mine after they put the rear end back together, got it sideways pulling into my driveway leaving some 315 wide black marks, and decided that was a qualified break-in for it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Many will tell you this is wrong. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
