don't worry, it'll be my daily driver, so it'll probably hit 1000 miles in a month.

Isn't it better for the engine to drive it hard right away?

engines require a break-in period
things need to seat before it operates the best
1000 miles is a mfg recommended more to help cover them a lil ... 200 miles and you good to rock as far as im concerned

I've read some people drive the shit hard as long as its in operating temp... supposedly it seats the seals and such just as good if not better.

the opinions all vary
i agree with you, but it is good to give it a 100 or 200 miles of average driving to check things
but yes, getting up to operating temp and running it helps seat the seals and the rings that much better
