500 keepin below 300rpm.

Then increasing rpm every hundred miles.

Probably overkill but I'm not taking anychancea on it.

After about 1200 miles i hope to have cams dialled in and remap

Cheers mate, I'll probably follow something similar. Just not taking any unnecessary chances.

In always with AC, but I always go over and look at the CS stand too

Yeh it's sat on mo.s at moment. Not driven for almost 3 months, and was off road 6 months last year so looking forward to driving it again. You must know about the agonising wait though Danny, so I won't complain too much

lee303 had a much more engine running in proceedure which theres quite a bit of technical back up too, and i see, to remember his running in took 1/4 of a mile and about 10 mins, might be worth a read

So two ways.

1. Push engine hard, going against other advice, potentially ruining engine.

2. Take it easy an suffer a tiny bit less power, but not risk the above?

Think I'll choose 2nd safe option
