was there not an argument a little while ago that running in time isnt whats best - especially for high performance engines. I never understood it myself btu the general concensus was that it was ebtetr to run the engine normally or even over-run it (but nto thrash its nuts off) in order to stress the componentry early and to an exceeded amount than they would get normally? | |

Oh and on another note, gaskets don't need bedding in. | |

Google bedding in engines. The bores will e honed. This is like skimming a very very thin layer off and leaving a rough surface behind for the piston rings to wear in to. The idea of this is to get a good seal between the bore and ring. The idea of keeping the RPM low is to stop the bores from glazing over whilst bedding in. If this isn’t kept to then the bores will glaze, there will be a lost of power and compression and if the oil rings don't seal properly then the engine can smoke too. | |

younger mechanics say 500 older ones say 1000... and its usually the older ones that are right | |

just dont give it much for 1000miles. its really annoying on carriageways and motorways but trust me it saves blowing your gasket | |

Normally its only revs, not car speed you need to watch. On most 'new' cars it tends to be 3,000rpm. | |

its reccomended 1000miles at no more than 50mph to bed the gaskets in | |
