Will there ever be a consensus? Are we supposed to drive cars with new engines gently for a certain number of miles? Doesn't Honda break them in, so we can drive them like Hondas from day one?

I tend to subscribe to a more aggresive break-in. But this car was broken in gently so take it for what it is worth.

I was careful not to put the engine under heavy load in any gear until 1,000 miles. Yet I exercised in exercising the engine by revving high under acceleration here and there as to break in the engine. I think my method was okay since the dyno reflected some good numbers.

Shawn, FYI...I just filled my tank with 91 today ;)
