The 1st 20-30 miles r the most crucial. that's where the rings have to be sealed properly...

- Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:22 pm #219135 yup just hit 50 miles today
changing the oil soon
i gave her plenty of break in revs dont worry
read upon how to seat them
best way ever to break in a motor with new rings
GIVE IT RPMS!
i drove it like a 2 stroke basically
brought it upto 6k slowly not even half throttle then let it slow down to like 2 or 3k then do it again
i had afriend drive behind me to see how much smoke there was
he said there was alot when i first pulled out but after the first tim i let it decompress he said there was nothing
so im thinking iv sealed em good
going easy on it as far as throttle goes but after 500 miles or so im giving it hell
if it can stand up to a beating shes good to go :thumb:
