Break-In Service and Hardware Re-torquing
With a new engine we feel the first oil/filter change should occur after the first 50-100 miles and all cover bolts and engine-mounting bolts
should be checked for proper torque. Keeping your engine oil clean is very important to the overall life of the engine. During the Break-In, or
look at it as the “Wear-In” period, engines produce very small metallic pieces that need a good filter to remove them. We do not recommend
extremely fine 10-micron filters during this time as they can clog quickly and begin to by-pass oil instead of filtering it. Use the 40 Micron
Filters during break-in and for the life of the engine. Ultima

Oil Filters, some examples are Midwest part# 25-78 & 25-79.
Checking cover bolts and engine mounting bolts is just good preventative maintenance during this period.
See Torque Specifications on the following page for Specifications.
Dyno Tuning
After your engine’s break-in procedure has been strictly adhered to we recommend that you have your engine dyno tuned for optimum
performance. Typically a new engine will have different fuel demands than an engine that has been through the break-in procedure and
additional tuning may be required for optimal performance.
