[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 182181, member: 1650"] LOL I am one of the "other" 1000. The cylinder preperation has more to do with how the rings will seat more than your breaking procedure barring you don't get it really hot. To get the best ring seat with the least amount of glaze buildup, I use little to no lubricant on the cylinder. It is a very old trick. The bearings get plenty. Then to get the rings seated a pretty decent amount of cylinder pressure early on (before the walls can glaze) works best for me. So I put a load on it. Just brief loads, and then load it again. Mx couses with short hills work nicely. FYI if you ever heard of engines that are "broken in" on a dyno, they are "loaded". Just don't over do the oil or heat it to the point of seizing it and yours will probably work just fine. [/QUOTE]
