I decided just for giggles to do a compression test on the motor I
just pulled from my log splitter . Got around 50 PSI after about 6 pulls
on the starter rope . That may be a good number if this motor has a
compression relief device for easy starting . I haven't checked yet but
plan to .
And the new motor is doing just fine , hardly burps when loaded with
a big log . What's a reasonable time to run the break-in oil ? I've got
about 2.5-3 hours run time so far , varied RPMs and load and a couple
minutes at idle before shut down . I'm thinking around 5 hours , 10
seems like a bit too long .
