Chris, would you run your rebuilt engines in for 1000odd miles or give it death from day one(obviously when its warmed up)

As per this: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

you need to give it lots of load right from the beginning but not revs.

yea, i know in that guide it says to snap the throttle open and closed etc

some of the 172 engines are making 186bhp at the fly, standard, and they've been given death since new, So i was just wondering if it still applys with older engines?
