VARY THE ENGINE SPEED

The engine speed should be varied and not
held at a constant speed. This allows the
parts to be "loaded" with pressure, and then
unloaded, allowing the parts to cool. This
aids the mating process of the parts. It is
essential that some stress be placed on the
engine components during break-in to
ensure this mating process. Do not, though,
apply excessive load on the engine.
