Rusty: Based on NO rotary
experience, just other stuff, I would still recommend no- detergent, dyno stuff
for initial break in, not M-1. you don't ever get a second chance to make
that first impression.

I personally think the whole "never use synthetic oil for
break-in" recommendation is mostly folklore. Corvettes, and probably a
number of other engines come straight off the assembly line with full
synthetic, and they've got a lot more parts to seat that we do. Sump oil
is irrelevant for apex seals, and half irrelevant for side seals. Oil
rings, yeah, those are new. There's only one new bearing, in the whole
engine though. I think I'll be OK... or not
:-)
Cheers,
Rusty (John's just worried because he doesn't know
what it's like to get to 1400 feet in 30 seconds, or land in less than a
mile)
