[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16406218, member: 188865"] As I stated, there's more to "break in" than just the motor. I wouldn't be worried about the motor as much as I would about breaking in the diff properly: There's plenty of literature from builders, enthusiasts and even the gear manufacturers themselves that warn about beating on gears early until they've had a chance to work harden. Here's an example: [URL="https://www.randysworldwide.com/resource-center/new-gear-break-in/"]New Gear Break-In | RANDYS Worldwide[/URL] The same goes for clutches. Most clutch makers warn of not skipping the "bedding" process if you want the clutch to have maximum torque retention and longevity. Go to Mantic or McCloud or Spec or any of them and they'll warn you about flogging the clutch before it's been mated/bedded properly. I agree the motor only needs a few miles to seat the rings fully and mate everything, but there are other things to consider in a break in period than just the motor. Can you flog a car off the lot and have no problems? Surely. But I find it's little cost to take it easy for a bit. To each their own. [/QUOTE]
