Ash1502 1 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 when the celica t-sports and corrola t-sports were sold from new, did toyta tell customers not to engage the valve lift untill they had done a certain number of miles?the reason i ask is someone i know told me they had the corrola t-sport from brand new, and the dealer said to do 1000 miles before taking it about 6000rpm.

armoredfist2002 16 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 All new cars say not to take them to high rpm for the first few hundred miles, usually 5-600.When I had my yaris from new it said this in the handbook, can't say I've see it in the celica handbook, but it was ages ago when I had a glance at it.

Ash1502 1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Cheers. The reason I ask is I had to have an engine remanufacture and is now bassically a brand new engine. I done a running in service at 500 miles and I now covered almost 1100 miles. I still haven't taken it above 6000rpm and engaged the valve lift. Shall I just go for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

edwardio 5 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 For recon engines the average run in time is 500 miles.By the way, you never really buy recon engines, as too many places do not do it properly by fitting quality parts & raplcing the relevant parts. Always buy a 2nd hand use engine.Regardless, take yours into lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
