I got my engine from PowerKing about 3 months ago but haven't had the time to install it. Over the last two weeks I've finally gotten around to getting a frame ready, stripped and painted and all that and I'll be mounting the engine this week sometime.
Anyhow, my question deals with the break-in procedure. The instructions that came with the kit call for a non-synthetic 2 stroke oil for the brean-in. Most of the oil for the gas mix sold in most stores is now synthetic or semi-synthetic and it's hard to find non-synthetic. But I found an S2 oil which the chainsaw store guy says is non-synhtetic. It is pricey though at almost $10 per quart compared to $2 or $3 for the synthetic stuff.
Anyways, so do you guys use the non-synhtetic stuff for break-in to help seat the rings and such?
In additio to the usual greasing of the chain and sprockets and clutch lever and taking it easy for the first few miles of riding, what what other preparations should I make. In another post I read to take off the side covers and check for metal shavings from the machining and casting process so that's what I'll be doing. But my concerns is also metal shavings in the crankcase itself. I would like to avoid splitting the crankcase to check for any irregularities since I want to avoid leaks or ruining the gaskets.
What about prelubing the engine before the initial start by squirting oil into the combustion chamber and crankcase to lube the cylinder walls and bearings and such?
Thanks in advance foe all the comments. Cheers.
