>> So I got my 2.4L GoWesty engine installed and running today. WOW!!!!! It
only has 34 miles on it and boy is there a big difference in power compared
to my 1.9L. I can actually accelerate on the freeway going 65 mph to 85 mph.
And hills WOW!!!! I can also accelerate going up hill now and the engine is
not even broke in yet. Im very happy with it. I id not want a race car I
only wanted to be able to drive like a normal car.   <<

This might sound like a dumb question but I got strict break-in instructions
care of Boston Bob when I got my new engine recently and they closely
matched what I was told on my last engine back in '96 that I was not to go
over 55 MPH for quite awhile.  Doesn't GoWesty have break-in instructions?
Can an engine with 34 miles on it like going 85 MPH?  I would check on that.
For the kind of coin the GW costs you are going to want it to last awhile.

Thanks,
Bryan
