BREAKING IN (RUNNING IN)
Your new engine requires a period of break-
in (running-in) to allow mating surfaces of
moving parts to wear-in evenly. Correct
break-in (running-in) will help ensure proper
performance and longer engine life.
CAUTION:
@
Failure to follow the break-in (running-in)
procedure may result in reduced engine
life or even severe engine damage.
@
Break-in (running-in) time: 10 hours
