Default RE: The best way to run-in an engine

treedog,

Keep in mind that large gasoline engines and small glow engines break in totally differnetly. The procedures that are right for one can kill the other. Different fuels, different lubircation systems, differnet metalurgy (sp), differnet method of making compression (ringed vs abc), differnet operating RPM, different temperaturs, differnet bearings (larger gas engines ususally use bearings in the conrod ends, while small glow engines use bronze bushings), the list is endless.
