Startin_o andODeratin_o New Engines Careful breaking-in of a new engine will greatly increase its life and result in troublefree operation. A factory test is not sufficient to establish the polished bearing surfaces, which are so necessary to the properperformance and long life of an engine. These can only be obtained by runninga new engine carefully andunder reduced loads for a short time. ¯ Be surethe engine is filled to the proper level with a good quality engine oil. ¯ For proper procedures to follow when breaking-in a new engine, see ’Testing Rebuilt Engine’. The various bearing surfaces in a new engine have not been glazed, as theywill be with continued operation, and it is in this period of "running in" that special caremust be exercised, otherwise the highly desired glaze will neverbe obtained. A new bearing surface that has oncebeen damaged by carelessness will be ruined forever.
