oil leak fixed - breaking in new cylinders
A while ago I posted about an incurable oil leak in my '79 TR-182. Turned
out to be rings. Decided to get a top overhaul. Now I am breaking in the new cylinders. On one hand I've been told, in capital letters, "DO NOT BABY THE ENGINE" On the other jand I've been told to maintain CHT of 325-350, which is quite a trick given no cylinder thermometer. One mechanic said to just keep it in the green for the first 20 hours to keep the turbo from generating too much heat. Any comments? Thanks, Michael
