[QUOTE="papagoines, post: 1063782236, member: 22794"] not sure.... but if you google round... most top tuners does not agree to the term of 'breaking in' an engine.. here's my fren of doing it [LIST=1] [*]Best to do it at nite because the ambient is cooler and less traffic. Look for an empty long stretch of road... i'm thinking like Guthrie or SKVE. [*]Warm-up the engine by driving around 10 minute, no need to rev kaw kaw... just leasure drive. make sure everything is ok, especially water temperature. [*]Start from gear 2, and WOT! until near redline then change gear until nearing 70 ~80kmh then brake until the car slows down. this considered as 1 cycle [*]Repeat acceleration + deceleratation cycle many times in the first 50-60km. Please monitor water temp for a possibility of overheating. Take a break every 10-20 km or drive the car leasurely for 5 to 10minutes before repeating [*]When mileage reached 50km-60km, change engine oil and filter... that's it! you can drive the car normally after this [/LIST] He does this after an overhaul... then straight to the dyno for tuning... then the next day went for a track day... the engine never skipped a beat ever since... He also pointed out, for engine that driven normally (not on track la), after 20k km, you can start using full-synth engine oil for better result Plan to do this when got money to overhaul mine hehe but please get a second opinion yaaa... this is my opinion only hehe [/QUOTE]
