why do everybody got there own breaking "method".

I know this sounds newbish (and yes i am). I bought a maximum MT plug the tape they gave me into the vcr and did exactly what they said to do for breakin.

Now i wounder if I would have been better off fallowing one of your methodes.

In any case how long can a engin be expected to live?
I would also like to know the difference between a Torq engin and a none-Torq.
