Brand spankin new engine!!!

[celicafreek876]

Well I finally got my Celi back from the Toyota shop...I had to get my engine replaced with a new one because water got into my engine through my CAI. It was a long dreaded 2 weeks cause I was stuck with a "Saturn"!! Total cost was like $5,700!!! Lucky for insurance!! Well I need some help...since my engine was replaced is there any limitations I have before I start driving it like I used to?? Do I have to break it in again since its new??? I got a long ass drive from Texas back to Virginia in a couple of days...if any one has good advice, it would be appreciated....

yes you do have to break it in again. as if you just got your car. if you plan to drive it for a long trip remember not to stay at a constant speed. you need to constantly change your speed 65-75 up and down.

I think you're not supposed to go on any long trips until you get 500 miles on it... and you're not supposed to go over 60 mph or something like that.

The engine you got is probably rebuilt, which is not as good as say NEW from factory.

Since only your engine is rebulit or is new.. no need to break in like normal city driving stop and go and change gears.... since your transmission is broken in if not replace..
Just drive around few hundred miles... nicely.. don't rev high.... that'll do the trick....Once I hit 3000 miles.. I really felt the peak power from my car.....
