Running ringed engines that rich is harmful, non-productive, and a waste of
fuel. Whomever it was that started the rumor/procedure that ringed engines
need a super rich breakin, didn't know what he was talking about.

FBD.
All true, Dave. Ringed engines need to be up to temperature to seat the ring.
Running an engine sloppy rich will insure the engine will be a dog
for its lifetime. That's a fact. Keep up the good work, the detracters will
fall by the wayside in time.

M.B.
So explain the control line four cycling their engines for every run. Why do their engines not glaze?

No one has explained that yet.
