Well that is the normal procedure for running in a new engine anyone else who knows will tell you the same thing. I did this on both of my forged motors as its what my engine builder advised me to do. I would also check valve clearances after 1000 miles.

this is normal dude dont worry. On a fresh engine i recommend using mineral oil for the 1st 1000 miles. 1st oil change at 50 miles second oil change at 200 miles 3rd oil change at 500 miles 4th oil change at 700 miles 5th oil change at 1000 miles. After 1000 miles use the oil of your choice. Hope this helps.

try another compression gauge

With your right foot

Check the TPS and coolant temp sensor.

Wow i never new this. Good bit of info keep us posted on this.

do a compression tests when the engine is warm. I always check the gap on the plugs with a feele gauge regardless of being pre-gapped or not.

I will pm you some pics tonight buddy. Its in mint condition.

I have a black one. make me an offer.

I see your silver GT every morning near hinckley road area, My black V is off the road untill the weather gets better, I am currently using my silver GT for the winter.

I have been using this stuff to clean my interiors for years. Glad it worked out for you mate, it also works a treat on the interior carpets

u need to get a silencer put in the exhaust it is lacking back pressure.

I just used my vax carpet cleaner to clean my seats and left them to dry in the sun. came out mint.

it would be much cheaper to buy a second hand gearbox.

IIRC you are not supposed to soldier the lambda wire it need to be crimped.

your car should be hitting fuel cut way before 1 bar. are you running a FCD or aftermarket ECU?

got some pics on my build thread. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/57703-h-ds-ep91-thread/

Im taking this for a spin tomorrow after i change your thermostat lol.

If a gt has abs there will also be a 4-ABS sticker on the rear window

I paid £750 recently for an almost stock gt with approx 75k on the clock. I have been offered £1500 already and in not even looking to sell it just yet. I know the car will be worth alot more after i have given it a good clean up.

if its pre 93 then no emission test is required anything after 1993 will be tested for emissions . Your best bet is to find a friendly mot tester. I know some charge a little extra to pass failed tests but this is illegal.

silver baileys dumpvale with a trumpet?

welcome back - i remember your user name - did you have TWAT stencilled on your FMIC? no offence if it wasnt you lol

does it have a dirty engine bay?, tein coilovers?, tein stickers? bright green rocker cover? and rear c pillar bar made out of a very thin tube of aluminum almost as thin as a coke can. If the answer is yes to all of the above then the car came from leicester and it had 3 crashes in less than 6 months and the old owner did not know the difference between night and day. I fixed a few problems on it before he sold it,
