Break in after topend recall

[farmerboy]

When there is a BRP topend recall on a 2011 E-Tec, does the dealer put a new resistor in or do you treat it like any other topend rebuild break in? Is it true that the pistons and rings are replaced but not the bearings? What else should a guy ask for to be done that isn't included in the recall?

i know they put a new resistor in on my 2012 and had to redo the break in period. it was only 250km so it wasnt to bad

There is no resistor. They connect your sled to the computer and tell the ECU to go back into break in mode and it reverts back to the settings it used during the initial break in.

Well thats good to know. I was going to cheat a little because i didnt think it was like a typical rebuild. I guess I will just ride it

I was told the break in period would take a couple tanks of fuel. Just like if it came off the show room floor.

my motor was rebuilt the exact time all my buddies picked up their 13 doo's we all were past the break-in mode around 250KM

the break in on an e-tec dosent go by mielage it measures fuel consumption and goes of how many liters you have burned
