[TPR] Checking the specs , Asa's current Mach I engine

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Russ,

You may be right, though I don't look at it as bad news.  The engine is 
apart and will go back together again soon.  Cross-hatching is still 
visible in the cylinders and the rings don't appear be well worn.  
Everything in the engine is really pretty clean though I think it was 
getting a bit of fuel washed past the pistons as well.  I think I was 
running it really really rich.

Any recommendations on break-in?  I ran a non-detergent oil for some 
time and then switched to synthetic.  It may be I didn't run it long 
enough or hard enough.  My plan this time was to drive it to work for a 
couple weeks.  That'll put about 600 miles on it.  Do you suppose that 
will be enough?
