"... negative feedback from the local EAA tech counselor today
when he heard I had bought a NEW engine..."


I too have a new engine so I'm very interested in this subject......
After much discussion during a Lyc rep presentation at Osh a year or two
ago, he suggested running the 'new' engine as little as practical on the
ground, limit taxi tests to the minimum and when finally airborne keep
the power in as much as possible.  He reminded us that the engines are
'run in' at the factory to some degree and the worse thing would be a
higher oil consumption during the life of the engine.  He said there were
no 'safety' concerns and just do the best that you can.  I considered
taking my engine to a shop with capabilities to break in the engine but
decided the cost of extra oil would probably be less and I would have the
pleasure of hearing the sucker run.   Earl
