rev the engine to 5000 rpm before break in period
 
I took delivery of my white fr-s AT last Monday, n I took it on a little road trip this past weekend (it was a 300 miles round trip) n I had 112 miles before the road trip. I drove between 60-85 miles on the freeway, trying not to keep it at a constant speed or rpm. But on 4 occasions, I accidently rev the engine to 5000 rpm going uphill. My question may sound dumb, but I hope I did not do too much damage to the engine. N I thought engine these days are pre broken-in from the factory.

You're fine.

lol.

don't worry about it at all. My father in law, who is a cummins turbo diesel instructor and mechanic, breaks in those motors with 60+ PSI turbos with 100% load and max torque for 5 minutes and that's it. Motors these days are designed to be pushed a lot harder safely, imo.

I was tearing mine up with like 200 miles on it. I think you will be ok.

You probably need a total rebuild or a new engine

:bellyroll: Sorry man, your engine is done!

Ooof, hopefully you didn't bend any valves. One thing is certain though, your warranty is void.







/sarcasm

Youre fine.

The flux capacitor will no longer be covered under warranty.

Accidentally I triggered warp and then hooned a worm hole - you'll get used to it in time.

Warning!!! Danger to Manifold.

Oh, n you may have damaged other parts as well.

Ericfrs 06-18-2012 11:20 PM

lol @ everyone being sarcastic, Jokes aside..

Dont worry at all, you are fine. Plus, you give the piston rings a good workout. They are all happy now :thumbsup:

guys, don't be an ass, from the torque graph you can shift it at ~6400rpm. In fact, that when u get the most torque and hp.

The OP was worried about going above 4000 during the 1000 mile breakin period, which is recommended by the manual.
