ne1 try this break in method
Has anyone tried this engine break in method on a new built engine? Or has everyone stuck with the 1000 mile break in method? http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

I've heard that works and considered it for my D16 build, but decided to to stick with the 1000 mile break in and used straight 30 weight non-detergant oil.

Re: ne1 try this break in method (Tsunami)
If you do a search this topic has been covered and this link has popped up all over the place. I don't know of anyone personally trying it. Basically my theory is start fresh motor up, idle 15 mintues, go out and accelerate 30-50 then decel IN GEAR to 30 and do this 10-12 times. Rings seated. Take it easy for 500miles, change oil and filter. Drive normal (don't baby don't beat) till 2000miles. Change oil and filter go have fun. Seems to work quite well for longevity and power as well as ring seating. It's pretty much just the recomended method.
Some of his theories do have "some" credential and are similar to a typical break in method. Then again they seem to be mostly for racing conditions.

Sorry I forgot to search first. I'm just so frustrated 'cause I don't think my rings set properly. I was trying the 1k mile method. I do appreciate the replies though. Thank you

Well, most engines built for race only don't have any break in periods, but that has alot to do with what grit hone they used on the cylinder walls.

Correct, but you must use a method of some sort to properly seat the rings. Even in loose tolerance race engine.
