Wow, nice deal. The 5.9 has its problems. The 4.6 doesn't . Glad they sent you the extra stuff. You got some things, including the glow plugs.

 

[Larsenracing]

That's nice of them. Atleast they made it right with you.

What were your problems with it? I cannot remember but do remember you stating something about it.

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

glow plugs burning out real fast,,it was loose metal inside,same as others

 

[RangerRock]

Wow man that hooked you up!

Motor, plugs, filter, spurs!

That was nice of them

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

[Bankrupter]

that is nice of them however even tho the 5.9 sucks its still a lot more money then a 4.6 to purchase. they thru in a few extras for the wait what about the price difference? should be a spare sleeve and piston in the mail. lol

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

sometimes you just cut your losses and move on

 

[88gtanotchback]

i guess so. on the bright side you can be out bashing again soon as soon as you get it all broke in. Which break in method are you gonna use?

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

don't know i just start her up and go slow for a few tanks,,i was thinking about putting her on bricks for 1 tank ...will take ideas from everyone.

 

[Ozzy-Time:)!]

come,on men drummer is the only one to offer mr a way to break in motor,and what spur gear and bell shoud i put in i rather have it do wheelies then fast down the line,,remeber the f4.6 is going the savage xl not the x so i am sure more wieght

Well for break-in I have started to heat cycle the motors. I put it on a block and let it idle the first tank and make sure it gets to 200-220*F. I then start doing circles and varying the throttle and of course checking temps and cutting it off around 210-220*F. Then after I do a few tanks like that (3-5) I start leaning out in 1/8 increments about every other tank and do that for about 1/4 gallon.
