I also posted this on the dc5 forum,

I recently got my headgasket replaced along with the headbolts and other misc. gaskets. I know its not the break-in period all over but do you think I should wait for a bit before Ivtec it? or just pound the living daylights out of my car right away?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

 

Shouldn't hurt to drive it hard. Rev away!!!

 

My only concern would be the condition of your oil right now. Did the dealer change it after the work was done?

No they did'nt, I can change my oil though, should I?

 

Yes, you should!

 

I just changed my oil. There was alot of metallic filings stuck on the oil plug magnet

 

I bet there was some antifreeze in there too. Damn good thing you had the magnetic plug.
