Hi;
My 1020 had to have the engine replaced. The old one had a cracked block, and all the pistons had major chunks missing. And those were the minor items...
So now it has a replacement block and all new internal parts. The mechanic said I needed to run it "quite a while" at full power to break it in. The manual doesn't specify what to do. I have had other advice.
For all practical purposes, this is a brand new engine.
What is the recommended break-in procedure. After spending all that $$$$$$$$, I really don't want to mess this up!
Thanks,
Jim
