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 the first 30 laps. Be sure not to use a lot of throttle or high rpm's. Run 5-6 medium-throttle accelerations to about 4500 rpm followed by letting off in gear and coasting back down to 2000 rpm.
