I reved well past 4000 rpms to ensure proper seating of my piston rings about 60 miles into ownership, I also did it gradually, and not suddenly, and after 200 miles hitting 4000 on decel and accell, then 50000 on decel and accel and yes, I even enjoyed getting to 7000 revs, but did so for a moment, on a warm motor, and then babied it for the next few hundred miles before redline became an every day thing, as it is now after 1500 miles.

that said, I suspect more a mechanical issue than a user error, tho I bet it helped a bunch, its not a coincidence ya beat it and it broke

the oil flow characteristics, shock loads, etc differ greatly between the two prove yourself methods...

not that dyno pulls on a sub 500 mile motor is much smarter


FRSOWNER, take it EASY
