Dolson,

Nice work, thanks!

However, you don't address engine braking during the "lapping-in" process.

I was told by Scott Bartels to avoid engine braking during the period. His belief is that (if I've got this right) it is important to keep pressure on the piston until the rings are properly seated.

He also mentioned the rev limits, the avoidance of lugging the engine, and the variance of speed on the road.

I don't know if his system is 100% correct, but I've "broken-in" a H-D Evo and two Triumph 955's and none of them use(d) any oil to speak of.

Again, thanks for your post!

Steve
