[quote="wegweiser"]If you road trip it for break in reasons - STAY off the interstates. Varied rpms and engine loads are better for break-in of the rings. Prolonged highway drives will tend to glaze the cylinder walls during this period. Some folks encourage lots of "engine braking" (down shifting and letting the motor slow the car) , while others recommend against it. Personally - I find brake pads to be far cheaper than driveline parts, so I rarely engine brake. or....you can do what I did w. the Stroker....bolt on an aluminum flywheel and zing it to 7800 rpm within the first 15 minutes of driving... then melt down your SuperBlue brake fluid on the way back to the shop! This was 2 years ago, and maybe 3500 miles or so, later - the motor still seems happy as a clam! (if I can't set a good example - the least I can do, is serve as a horrible warning - right?)
