My prediction: a post will arrive shortly telling us that the proper way to break in an engine is to "drive it like you stole it." They will support that with "my friend is an engine builder" story.

These posts CAN get somewhat predictable.


BTW- the advice on limiting revs on break in has been around since I was a kid, a very long time indeed.

Must be somthing to it. hard to believe the car makers want to have their engines inplode.
