Hi guys -
I had always been planning on a used mid-time engine for my 9A build, but am starting to seriously consider going new so I know exactly what I am getting, even if it means breaking my pay as I go rule. I am currently really liking the idea of a Titan OX-340 stroker.
My real question pertains to properly breaking in the engine while in Phase 1. I understand the two different objectives may be at odds with each other. How many people have experience with this process, and will it be hard to treat my engine right while in Phase 1?
I also understand I could start with a used engine with some time left on it, and then upgrade in a few years. But right now I am working two jobs, and in a few years I will probably be starting a family and that expense would be harder to justify.
I appreciate any input. Thanks!
Chris
