Question no pistons? no seals? no problem?

i'm not sure if anyone's posted this b4 but here goes. (searched but didnt see anything)

What would be a good way to break in an 8?

The info on typical cars on breaking in is ez to find.

Is there a "good" way to break in a rotary engine?

take it easy, as in:

let the car warm up below 2000 rpms before you move it.

dont go over 4000 rpms until its completely warmed up

dont go above 4500 rpms for the first 1000 miles

if you MUST turn the car off before tis warmed up, rev the car at 3000 rpms for 10 seconds

doing a search will give you even more info. you can also check out racing beats website.

Here's a good thread. In post #6 it shows three different break-in variations.
