I have been researching this for a long time and i was just wondering what people thought of the moto mans way of breaking in a 4stroke engine?It seems to make a ton of sense as when we buy a new car we never take it easy so why go easy on a new outboard.Yes i know we are not going to maintain 6000rpms driving a car like when we run a outboard but to set the rings it makes perfect sense to break it in hard.
One thing i think some people don't realize is the companys put these motors through some harsh tests before even leaving the plant to begin with already and never hurt these outboards.I belive if they were worried about taking it easy in the beginning they would never run up the rpms in the plant but they have to to test them out.I'm sure they run them hard for quite a bit of time also so they are probally in the breakin process already.
Anyone ever try this or even think about trying it?I'm by no means saying it's right it just peaks my interest and wanted to hear if anyone had anything to add to it.It would just seem like you want to condition the motor the way your going to run it which is usually hard most of the time.
Really looking foward to some feedback on this,thanks.
