Prior to the rebuild and big reason for keeping it, I got around 38 - 41 MPG. I'm currently getting about 19 - 20 MPG. Any ideas on what could cause this? I understand it will need to be broken in however should the mpg be this bad? Engine was completely rebuilt, i.e., pistons, rings, crank, valve job, etc. Thanks.

Used to suggest 500 miles or so and we used to use a break-in oil to dump at the 500 mile area and then it should behave as you would expect. If that was your first MPG check I'd forgive it and bring it up with rebuilder if it continues too long, T mdfoster New User Jul 1, 2008, 12:29 PM Post #3 of 3 (1168 views) Re: Gas Mileage - Engine Rebuild Sign In Thank you.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
