Running In
Allow the motor to warm up without revving the balls out of it!!
Id do a good 50miles keeping it at 4 thow
then let the revs rise to 6,000rpm in the first few gears. Then drop back down to around 4,000rpm for around 150 miles dont let it go in the band .
Then Take it up to 8,000rpm droping back to 6,000 for a further 100 , the pistons should have been bedded in by 300 miles. If the engine has new bearings, in the crank or gearbox, then no special treatment is needed as bearing don’t need to be run in.
