Don't think so. just keep varying the speed. Hover between say 60 and 75 and keep easing off and speeding up to keep the piston rings expanding and contracting. This will help them bite into the piston walls and not glaze them over.

I drove to Wales like this once in a new car - not too bad if you don't get car sick!

Fcuk it - my first "cannot find server".  And a bloody refresh failed tooooooooooo .!!!!!!

It's not road speed that is the issue.  It is all to do with the actual engine revs.  It is important to not only vary the engine revs, but also to actually raise the revs threshold gradually but progressively.

Here is a little table I personally use:

Audi S4 4.2 v8 New Car Running-In Schedule                        

     0   -     300   miles   up to   2,500 rpm   /    1/4   throttle
  300   -     600   miles   up to   3,500 rpm   /    1/2   throttle
  600   -     800   miles   up to   4,500 rpm   /    1/2   throttle
  800   -   1,000   miles   up to   5,500 rpm   /    3/4   throttle
1,000   -   1,200   miles   up to   6,500 rpm   /    3/4   throttle
1,200   -   onwards         max rpm      /    full   throttle

Wales has that effect on me too!  :grin:

Nice little rable Sean. I referred to 60-75mph as I know this works out to be about 2-3000 rpm in top gear.

I like the way that once you are past 1200 miles it is nothing but full gas max revs for you!
