Forgive me for Being Slow

Certainly it's been done before?

If you ' had the misfortune of seeing my last two videos, you'll realize two things:
1. I discovered the built in movie creator for the iOS
2. I wonder: if break in REALLY the important?

I think we all agree, should one ask of the importance of a break in on these basher forums you would get every level of hyperbole their little minds can muster up, (and hell yes I admit it's greatness), however, unfortunately, 99.9% if not 100% of them truly have not experienced these things on which they spea. Fancy way of saying they are full of sh*t.

I mean I am somewhere between 38-40 engines I've broken in, and I assure you all of them did not go alike. Say what you will, but that's some pretty salty experience compared to these guys with 1, 2, hell TWENTY engines. It is what it is. So, now if I have these questions after my experience, either I'm one stoopid SOB, they are all geniuses, a mixture of both...or "gasp" they are pulling things out of their ass, or repeatint what's been yanked from someone else rectum.

First I have to define break-in: it's the manner in which one brings an engine from a non-functioning state to an optimized state. The end result is an engine what will respond to the variables such as, air/fuel mixture, heat, pressure waves, etc.

So while yes, to make the statement: "It's the difference between running and not running" so are a million other things however the pre-condition here is that it has been broken in per my definition above.

With that, the the question is Does the break-in Process make a Difference,? we have to define "difference".

In my mind, there are two interests: peak performance, and longevity. Meaning that if I 'screw up my break-in'....what's gonna happen? Will the engine not be as strong as it normally would/ Will it be as strong but parts will wear sooner? Both? Neither?

I Don't Know If It Makes a Difference
Please understand that engines behave differently. I have four of those F4.6 and they perform slightly different.Is this due to break in? Hell, I have NO IDEA.

Guess What?
I won't have an idea after this little experiment either. But I'll know SOMETHING. So if the thought is you should never go WOT until the sixth tank, yet I'm going WOT the second tank....and five gallons later I show you the engine rippin' ass....I'll say waiting until the sixth tank to go WOT is bullshit. But that is talk-talk.

Now if I show you that engine compared to the SAME engine broken in a different way...well know we are learning things. Everybody.

In my next video I'll tell you what I DO know....as while I'm wanting feedback on what a good antithesis break-in will be,I'm obviously not going to reinvent the wheel.

Finally, I totally understand I'm not splitting the atom here. I've got no agenda, nor to be candid, no preconceived notions. Not looking to prove anyone or anything right or wrong. I'm confident that there are pros whom have conducted like tests (or better), but I'm just a chump with a camera curious about something that gets a lot of rah-rah talk, and before I speak on it I want to know I am really about that.
