Out of curiosity, what break-in method are you using? The slow and steady for 500 miles or the hard and fast for 30 miles?

Hmm, in Canadian units I guess that'd be 800km and 50km So which is it?

I've been wondering myself whether the hard and fast for 30 miles break-in method is a valid one. I read about it on some mechanics website about breaking in motorcycles. It just seems so outta whack ya know what I mean? For years they tell us to do it slow and easy for the first 1000 miles and then there's this new thing where they say to ride it hard for the first 20-30 miles.

BTW Tony, HOT DAMN. Those pistons look awesome. How the hell d'you get the block so clean??? -drool- If only I had the money I'm currently spending to go to college on my 5SFE, then maybe I'd actually learn a thing or two by doing crazy shit like that to my car.
