Interested on finding information about running-in period for new engine... found a post by Teutonic Tamer who suggested a gradual approach of stepping up max revs gradually over first 1200 miles... thinking of doing the following:
New Engine fitted at: 27,354
No more than 3,500RPM until approx 27,754 (400 miles done) - this is what I am doing at the moment.
No more than 4,500RPM until approx 28,154 (800 miles done)
No more than 5,500RPM until approx 28,554 (1200 miles done)
After 28,554 – drive normally
Obviously only hitting the max revs when teh car is fully warmed up!
Any comments (besides the fact that I am probably an anal retentive!!)
