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’.
