Default RE: ringed engine break in?

And which manufacturer says to run an ABC engine rich at anytime?
Every manufacture says to run them rich. Some including OS say to run them in four cycle, or near four cycle on SOME of their engines. The only thing to worry about with ABC engines is throwing a rod with severe pinch designs. Most of the modern engines do not have this problem. Composition and the amount of taper determine the best break in procedure, it is best to observe the manufactures instructions as you said.
