Ok, here's the deal, if all goes according to plan, I'll be buying an STi by summer. Now all manufacturers have their break in period saying to take it easy for the first thousand or couple thousand miles. Anyway, I think it was on honda-tech.com that someone had posted a link of some guy who had supposedly done this with like hundreds of motors, and that is he ran them hard for the first 20 miles so that the rings would seat nicely, and then the break-in period is over and you can drive how you like. So anyway, my dilemma is this, I want to know if that guy is just full of it or what. If anybody has read it or even has the link and can help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
