Re: Ford engine factory break in process
I'm sure I've read about this before, but also remember it from my apprenticeship days. The motors are turned over by an electric motor, this beds everything in, and when the amperage falls below a certain level, they are good to go. If you have one where the amps do not fall, it would be taken off the line for rework.
I served my apprenticeship at Longbridge and remember seeing the A series Mini engines being motored in such a way.
Hot test, where the motors are run under power is a different thing, and wouldn't (probably) be carried out on every motor.
Mart.
