Default RE: Breaking-In a sideways oriented engine

Please be aware that running your engine with the cylinder mounted horizontally will cause the cylinder to wear egg-shaped because of the pull of gravity acting on the piston. I know this because I was told this many times by Chevy owning adults when I was just a child (my father drove a Ford V8). I was always taught adults were never wrong. ............RJ
