marlinjackThe Machinist #5723 AMARGOSA MACHINE 'Running on Empty- Middle of Nowhere'

...I Agree 100% with All of the Above Expert Advice!!

Synthetic Oil Does NOT Allow for the Needed Friction it Takes to 'Wear-In' The Rings to the Cylinder Walls!

I would Add...Take the Machine Onto the Highway/Freeway and Run the 'Crap' Out of it, as in Run It for a Day! Burn a Tank Full of Fuel through It.
NO! Do NOT High Rev It, but Do NOT run at any ONE 'Constant Sustained' Speed, Vary the Speeds Up and Down over Miles and MIles. Do NOT 'Lug' it, But 'Work' It. Don't Baby it, But Don't Run it 'TOO" Hard! Remember, You have to First 'Seal' the Blow-By.

After 500 Miles Change the Oil and Filter, but stay with the NON-Synthetic. After 1000-2000 Miles, You can go to the Synthetic.

...Good-Luck with It, Have Fun and Don't Hurt Yourself, with that Huge Grin On Your Face!!
