[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 53075, member: 425"] There are 1000 methods for engine break-in that are "recommended" by someone. I happen to use the LA sleeve one. [url]http://www.lasleeve.com/documents/2-stroke-break-in-procedures.pdf[/url] In the end, "heat cycles" are what matters. A complete, gradual warm up and complete internal cool down. Multiple heat cycles is all you're looking for. Get the parts mated properly without causing damage. While operating the engine, with the throttle you want to create positive and negative pressures inside the cylinder. Never cruising. Cruising is the same as idle (to the rings/piston), and you'll do enough of that without trying. This pressure seats the rings in the piston grooves and against the imperfect contours of the cylinder. Too quick of a warm up or too much oil can cause glazing of the cylinder, where the rings ride on the oil instead of the cylinder walls. This is why richening the pre-mix is not advisable. Too little lubrication can cause seizure or premature wear of the rings. Use your normal pre-mix ratio. Once you have a few heat cycles, you're good to go. The LA Sleeve method incorporates jetting instructions into the break-in. -BIG DAN [/QUOTE]
