How to break in, a diesel engine on a chassis dyno?
« on: August 26, 2010, 11:58:49 pm »
I might have a chance to run my new engine and truck on a friends dyno. and was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how to run it to seat the rings?
I kind of figured its like a gasser. But for how long and at what loads?
