|    Compression test and break-in oil    |
|    23 Jun 25 19:48:27    |
      From: Snag_one@msn.com               I decided just for giggles to do a compression test on the motor I       just pulled from my log splitter . Got around 50 PSI after about 6 pulls       on the starter rope . That may be a good number if this motor has a       compression relief device for easy starting . I haven't checked yet but       plan to .        And the new motor is doing just fine , hardly burps when loaded with       a big log . What's a reasonable time to run the break-in oil ? I've got       about 2.5-3 hours run time so far , varied RPMs and load and a couple       minutes at idle before shut down . I'm thinking around 5 hours , 10       seems like a bit too long .       --       Snag       We live in a time where intelligent people       are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
