Warming up the engine before driving!
I do usually warm it up for a good 5 to 10 minutes in colder weather. I start with a few seconds at idle to get oil on all the parts. The I go to a steady 2000 rmp (like breaking in a new motor), for a minute or so. Then I let it idle for 5 minutes or more.
-----My engine is a 62,000 mile never rebuilt original and it warms up slow, unlike a new engine that has more friction, plus it has blocked under carb heat passages and no heat riser on the exhaust.
-----In warm weather I can skip the warm up and just get in and drive slow and easy at first. Just curious about the 2000 rpm part of this. If it is good for break in, should be good for daily too?
