How cold is too cold for break in?

[Upbasher]

I have a freshly rebuild engine top and bottom new bearings piston and everything. My question is how cold is too cold to break it in effectively? I live in Michigan and its about 25 degrees right now. Im very impatient and don't wanna wait till spring.

I'd wait for warmer temps.

sneak over and and knock his spark plug strap in against the center electrode so it won't fire.
that'll at least delay his rubbing it in your face

did you do heat cycles?

Havent done anything yet. I actually have to replace a crank seal first it turns out

 

[jus_me]

That's a good idea with a leaky seal,, would have made you really missing out while you were rebuilding your motor..

Its a brand new seal but I put it in too far that's why I gotta take it out

before last spring i had KOR cut my head and port my cylinder and i wanted to bolt it back together and start breaking it in right away and he told me don't do it your gonna wanna go out (i had snow on the ground yet) and do doughnuts and mess around and be sending it right back to him blown up it was worth the wait let the temps get back above 45-50ish
