here is the way i break in a fresh motor, everybody will have their own techniques. good lube is very important. fill an oil can with the recommended oil for your motor. put a couple squirts on each cylinder, also lube the rocker arms and squirt some around the valve springs so the valve stems have some initial lube. crank the motor with the plugs out, watch the oil pressure gauge till you start to get some pressure, that way you know the pump is primed. hook everything up an fire up the motor. i let em run at fast idle while i check every thing out. look for leaks ect. if everything is good, run the tractor around the yard, road, wherever of at least a half hour or so, vary the engine speed, dont go above 1/2 throttle. bring her back in the shed, retorque cylinder head if necessary, recheck everything, retighten all the hoses ect, check fluid levels, watch the oil pressure!!. if all is well a couple days of easy running will break it in.
