Default RE: Muggy break-in

dam mate well that aws the worst break in you could of done. If it dosnt get to about 200 then u are putting unnecesary strain on the internal parts. Why? Because the metal expandes adn if u run it at that temperature the piston wears more on the sleeve and can stretch the conrod. The best break in is to get it to 200 as soon as possible. this is called the heat cycle and is the best break in i believe. It gets the engine up to operating temp and produces a proper fit between the piston and sleeve. Search for heat cyle adn u will see what i mean.
