this is the method that i believe works well & i've had no problems with it...


let it warm up & cool down a few times while it's in the garage as you check it over for leaks.

then take it out for a drive, b4 u hammer on it make sure u can still shift through the gears & everything is running properly.

then use second & third, run them out the rpms till about 5 or 6k & let it rev it self down, don't hit the brakes & push the clutch pedal in coz u'll be defeating the purpose. When you let the engine rev down, it's allowing the oil rings to do a good job pulling all the oil & everything off the cylinder walls.

i'd say drive it around for about a half hour all cautious like & letting the engine very in rpm's a lot, but basicly just get out there & put it under load so that the rings will wear a little & seat them selves.


i know someone will come in here & tell you to baby it, but to be totally honest with u, if it's gonna break, it's gonna break... i run the hell out of my motor & i treat it right when it comes to maintenence (changing fluids). It likes it!

anyways, change your oil the first 50miles to get all the assembly junk & any possible break in shavings out of it.

do the same at 500 / 1000 & then your normal cycle
