this is how i break in engines.
use regular oil, run the engine as hard as you can. full throttle, then let off and coast. then hammer down, then let off. avoid constant RPMs just do this for about 10 miles and the rings will be seated. you want that hard on and off pressures to seat the rings. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
