Engines and parts are made by people and machines, neither of which are perfect. Everyone interprets break in differently. There are a ton of variables. The world is not a perfect place. Some engines are not truly broken in til they are north of 5000 miles. It took 10K for my Audi Turbo to settle into a no-burn scenario. If everyone revisited this a year or 2 after purchase it would most likely be a non-issue. Last edited by Modshack; 08-12-2009 at 11:50 AM. |
