[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16787056, member: 35549"] I think the term break in depends on who you talk to. The guy that built my first big bore stroker said to take it easy the first couple hundred miles. That engine had problems from day 1. I built my second big bore stroker myself. I fired it up in the driveway and put some heat in it and checked for leaks. Then changed the oil to get all the crap out. I drove it about a quarter mile then hammered it with full boost. It turned 100 miles while on the dyno. The only reason I lost that engine was because I lost a radiator hose in San Diego traffic and couldn't get to the side on time. I now break in any engine I build however I'm going to drive it. If it's going to blow it's going to blow. Nothing I could do to change that. [/QUOTE]
