Re: Break in procedure
Don't "baby it" but don't flog it. Use plenty of throttle to increase cyl. pressure
but keep the rpm below 6000 or so using the higher gears. The cyl. pressure is what
seats the piston rings but high rpm can overheat new rings. This is more true of a
new fresh motor with fewer miles.
