Re: Gear beak in?

dealership. BILL, HE said miles ;)

Re: Gear beak in?
The manufacturers say they're down the thirty minute runtime on a
wheel dynamometer tests, because their parts are initially finely honed.

Re: Gear beak in?
Bill,
You hear that service parts, that you buy from a dealership or aftermarket
supplier, are equal to or better than OEM parts. Whom is one to believe?
You also hear about "lemons", which could be a vehicle that was put together
wrong, or perhaps broken in wrong. Who knows? It does appear that the
"fine honing" is not 100% reliable.
I picked up my Honda Civic at the dealership, and drove it 800 miles in a
couple of days. It had been driven before that 200 miles from the
dealership in Colorado Springs to Fort Collins. I am sure that it was
driven at 75 mph, the speed limit on that stretch of I-25. I guess I got
lucky, or the parts were honed like you say.
