Good reading! Altho, I still believe that a few 5 lb spurts of Boost will help the rings seat but do it in the first 25 miles. Again, just my opinion & I have no Proof it works but does for me so I do it everytime.

i agree completely--------at the top of page 3 the paper clearly states "after break in and during full power operation further wear in of the top and bottom edges of the rings and bores can occur due to high cylinder pressures and resulting ring dishing"----------this deals with the complete breakin of the rings--------most of the paper deals with flat tappet break in and the two must be understood as totally different and each has different requirements..............RC
