How many miles till WOT?

[ByrdClaw]

So I have about 330 miles on a rebuild after 2 oil changes. Im about to do my 3rd oil change,and I was curious how many miles I need to have to start going WOT? Also,I have been using 30w non detergent, would it be ok to swap to 10w 30 yet?

I would be surprised if your cylinder walls weren't glazed. The engine should see load right out of the box, as well as vacuum.

I never went WOT,just partial throttle,4k revs and alot of engine breaking.

I would be making full passing before then. I go about 70% throttle the first time I drive the car after a rebuild. After that drive is finished I will change the oil. Then I will go full throttle for a gear. Let the car cool and go full throttle for two gears. Change oil. Make a full pass. Then I change the oil at varisous mileages.

if your driving it down the road it's had plenty of load. and i always wait till i have atleast 500 miles. after that it should be good to go . if your worried about glazing just do a compression test. you should be good to go though.
