That said, I have no idea how Porsche prepares/tests the new motors before they are installed. You can't do any harm by actually following the owners manual. So be patient. And enjoy  |
Hi,
I remember when Porsche did that. But, as you know, there's more to the break-in than just the motor. Synchros, CWP, Wheel Bearings, Ancillary Bearings, even the Rotors, Pads and Tires break-in and establish wear patterns. Observing the recommended Break-in procedure and schedule insures all of these bed-in properly for long service life...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
