A new engine or one that has been completely overhauled by being
fitted with a new piston, rings, valves, and connecting rod should be

Good bearing surfaces and running clearances between the various
parts can only be established by operating the engine under reduced
speed and loads for a short period of time.
Run-in the engine according to the schedule below. During the run-in
period, check for oil leaks, make final carburetor adjustments, and
regulate the engine operating speed.
