Joe,
It is easier to drop the engine/trans in as a unit
if done from the top with a hoist and the hood removed.
You will need to tilt the engine at an angle to
clear. Make sure to install with the F/R/drivers side engine mounts
removed.
Instal the engine mounts on the engine/trans when
in positioned in the engine bay.
There is a lot of controversey on break-in
procedures.
The way I broke in the TT motor was:
Use conventional 30W, or 10W30 oil. (I used
30W)
Keep under 5K for the 1st 500 mi, and don't lug the
motor.
Vary the RPM's, do not sustain a constant
RPM.
Change oil and filter at 500mi.
Keep under 6K from 500-1000mi and run the oil above
continuing to vary the RPM's.
Change oil and filter at 1000mi.
After 1000mi, run the oil above but run it hard, or
the way you will drive it when it is broken in.
Bounce it off the rev-limiter, abuse it.
:)
Change the oil and filter with the above oil at
1500mi.
Now drive it the way you will always drive
it.
Change the oil and filter at 3000mi. with synthetic
(if you plan to run synthetic)
It is now broken in.
This is what I decided on after talking to a dozen
different "experts".
Worked for me.
