<<Bob Donalds says under 55 for the first 1000 miles!>>

While I agree, wouldn't a max RPM be more exact?  Breaking in my Tiico, I
kept it under 2500 for the first 1000 miles.  (55 in second gear isn't good
either.)

I've also heard of folks saying "5000 rpm for 2 minutes, and it's broken in."
 Anyone else heard that one?
