I had the honors of breaking in my 360 AK4 Lycoming in my Sundowner.
For the first 25 hours, I ran it full throttle and full rich and flew no higher then 2500 feet. My A&P said what ever I do, don't baby it. Run it hard and rich for those first 25 hours. Yep, that's the same procedure we followed with out overhauled O-540 two years ago. The engine starts easily, runs great, and burns a quart of oil every 15 hours. It's been absolutely perfect, knock on wood. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
