    from initial start up.run it til it fan cuts in, checkin for any leaks etc from fluids, then take it for a steady drive, after 15 miles or so start booting it a little.......yes up to red line........evry now n then, .......vary ur revs when driving it.....give it an oil n filter change at 1000 miles then go give it a fukkin rite good thrashin


    works for me...hehe

    I was told just to drive it at no more than 3.5k for 700 miles then up to 4k thereafter then after 1000 miles start opening it up but not big time??
