Once you get off the gas and start coasting the temp will drop by the time your back to idle. Don't hit the brake just coast and keep rolling. Let the rpm go down and watch the gauge cool off. You'll see it go down every time with a good enough gauge. And it'll go up when you get back to the...

The most important thing is to heat up and cool down the cylinders enough times to actually cause them to seat. Several several cycles holding the throttle long enough for the heat to rise. It'll only get so hot and just sit there but once you notice the temp as high as it'll get just hold it...

Anyway, I do this for the first 200 to 300 miles maybe a little less completing all 3 phases on at a time. Again just spending the time going nice and slow long enough making sure it heats up and cools down enough.

This is all about the heat cycle so the rings can seat and seal up with the cylinders better. Rapidly heating and cooling metal helps to form it and make it stronger. That's what seating and sealing the rings is. Heating and cooling them so they mate with the cylinder better. People don't know...

It's really more about the time you spend heating and cooling not the distance. So take your time and just enjoy the slow drive. Maybe have your favorite band playing on your new stereo. Anyway getting off the gas and coasting is when it's cooling the Piston rings and cylinders. No fuel goes in...

After several minutes of this if required the heat will be constant and you might even notice it's a little warmer than usual. Maybe. Every engine is different. Then I'll get off the gas and just let the engine slowly slow down. If you stay in 2nd or 3rd gear it'll keep those rooms smooth and...

You can go up or down with it a little but basically I want to let that constant rpm build up heat. A little over idle but not high enough that the engine is trying to build power yet. Just a slow smooth cruising rpm at a very low speed. These trucks have a really nice digital temp gauge that...

Just a nit pick thing but I don't like any driving done on my new engine until I get it myself. I make my way to a long straight road away from everyone and everything avoiding stop signs and anything that could interrupt me. Away from everyone just doing my thing for a while. It's peaceful. For...

Sure, no problem. I mentioned it briefly in one of my threads but I like sharing info whenever and wherever I can. I split it into 3 phases and got this method from racing engine builders. The phases are split up between rpm ranges. Low, low medium and a slightly higher medium. Never ever red...

I have to split up my response and post it in a few comments to reply to you. It won't let me post the whole thing. So I'll try to reply to you with a few messages. Hopefully it works
