[QUOTE="sikryd, post: 10647333, member: 113929"] When I break in a new motor, I take it easy for the first 500 - 800 miles. I vary the RPM's to help seat the rings, and definitely do not hammer it at all. If you can afford to replace internals, by all means do as you wish. I would follow what the owners manual says, that way the Ford Nazi's can't blame anything on you. When I picked up my 2011 GT500, I could still smell the new gaskets burning in. That tells me that the break in time on Ford's dyno was minimal if anything at all. I've built a lot of motors, and I always follow the 500 - 800 mile rule and have never had a problem. [/QUOTE]
