I hear so many conflicting opinions about this. I just rebuild my engine with wiseco forged pistons and my mechanic has has the car for a week because he wants to put some k's on the engine. is it really necessary?

Not at all.

Bed the rings on the dyno, tune it up.

All my motors have been done this was, as have countless others. If the motor is built right from the start you shouldn't have issues.

Had this discussion with Paul earlier today about my motor - thats his prefered method too. He just said the thing not to do is don't let the mottor idle to bed the rings in

Yes it is

And the oil is critical ( type and prelube on cams etc) i would never flog a brand new engine build unless your wallet is thick and racing required it !!

yes racing a quick run in to seat rings and bearings , check for leaks etc , heat cycle it a few times before a caning it

But have built many engines and popped them into race cars after 5 min of checking for leaks off to the races without drama and it lasted most of the season before melting a forged piston ( fuel related failure )

i was always told you had to bed them in for a couple thousand kays :/

My 34 GTR is almost done now and i have been told by my mechanic he wants me to drive it for about 1000km then bring it back to him to make sure its all tourqued up and that sort of thing before i give it some.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
