I finally got my motor back. I havnt assembled it yet but Ive been reading and wondering how I should go about starting my motor. I have all new injectors, new coil pack setup, new turbo and new bottom end. It seems that people say to break the motor in as soon as you let the temperature warm up and that it dont take long at all for the rings to seal. My problem is that Im gonna let a tuner tune it on the dyno but Im not sure if I should at least start the motor up i my garage to check for leaks and do the 1st oil change. What do you guys think?

Setup is:

rb25 bored .040 over

-wiseco pistons

-bw s366 turbo

-ls truck coil packs

-nistune z32 ecu with rb25 map

Long story short: I rebuilt the engine back in April/june with the components listed above but soon after driving it I noiced glittery oil. The engine had no more than 50 miles on her. After tearing down I realized the thrust on the crank was eaten up as well as cylinder walls #2 along with the piston. So the new motor has a machined crank, same setup plus the new sleeve for cylinder #2 and new piston.

Thats all said but Im jst wondering about the start up. Should I:

-warm the engine up, cut off and drain the oil

-Take it to the tuner and let hie mess with the start up and any other problems

-warm up, drive it for a few miles while adjusting my k constant then let the tuner do the rest?

Thanks
