Sorry for bringing up an old thread.

So, based on the above info, the rubbing alcohol is the best break in procedure? Or is the water?
Thanks

Hey, no prob =) If it applies then it's not old to me.

If you want to do a wet break in then alcohol would be a better choice than water because it evaporates more completely than water (so less corrosion). Of course be careful because it is flammable. Make sure to oil everything back up with just enough to coat the rubbing parts.

I still would recommend the dry break in method though, but whatever way you want to do it =)
