Cummins Engine Break-in
Break-in after an engine rebuild or head replacement……… Cummins publishes nothing that I can pin down, but to me, only logic should be the guiding force here…
To me, logic would dictate “wine & cheese” cruise speeds for a few hours.. That way all the sub-systems are easy to to check–Things like gear temps, shaft seal temps, coolant temps and proper de-aeration of the coolant fill , un-planned leaks, etc etc.. After all has been checked, then a few quick run ups to WOT with easy back offs down to the wine & cheese speeds.. Is the engine making its full WOT and making it EASY? In the the case of the 480CE, my thoughts on propping is written in stone on this particular engine.
Then its dock time for a top to bottom check of and then, GO FISHING ?
