Just had both head gaskets done on my 06 sti and a new clutch at the same time but i forgot to ask the guy if i need to run it in and for how many miles.

 

No need to run in

Tony

 

Snap - me too!
Got the belts etc. done as well, cost a bomb

 

its all been done just wondering if a need to take it easy for abit

 

No mate you only need to take it easy when you have new piston's/rings to bed them in correctly so just have fun again

 

so do you not need to bed a new clutch in then

 

No mate same applies just do what you want with it,the friction plate is ready to be used as per normal from the box.

 

did you have the heads scimmed, what gaskets did you use.

 

not sure the heads were sent to be checked and just standard gaskets

 

if the gaskets were not thicker to accomodate the 1000th of a mil that was skimmed of the heads, means lower compression which throws mixture ratios and causes detting and eventualy bottom end failer. so when this happens and you cant stand it no more i bagsey the gearbox and diff lol.
shame really mate must just only be out of warranty, hope all goes well for you.

 

it was AS perfomance who did the work and they come well spoke of and am sure he did everything to spec

 

It will be fine, ref above.
