Breaking the engine in...
Hey, I was just wondering what the average distance you need to drive to break in the engine is. If anybody could let me know i'd appreciate it.

Run-in
I'm not saying what I did was right but common sense should be the driver. From 0-300 miles I stayed below 4k rpm, 300-600 5k rpm, 600-900 6k rpm, 900-1200 7k rpm.

Regards Peter
