Engine Break-In Procedure
Fill the engine with oil with 15w50 full synthetic motor oil and follow the proper engine priming procedure. Also check and fill as required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.
Run the engine between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm, with no-load for the first 30 minutes. Adjust the valve lash using the proper procedure. Drive the vehicle at varying speeds and loads for first 30 laps.
