New engine break in procedures
I know this has been discussed before, but someone brought this to my attention and I wasn't really sure what to say. From what I understand, you are supposed to immediately bring rpms up to around 2500 rpms and hold it steady for approximately 20 minutes. What about seating the rings? Will using this procedure hurt/prevent the rings from seating properly? Thanks
