General break-in guidelines:
Use break-in oil with ZDDP (zinc) for flat-tappet camshafts
Start engine and verify oil pressure immediately
Run at varying RPMs (2,000–2,500) for the first 20–30 minutes—do not let it idle
Change oil and filter after initial break-in
First 500 miles: Avoid sustained wide-open throttle; vary RPM
Refer to the documentation provided with your engine for brand-specific break-in procedures.
