beating the engine?
2.4ss.... well its got 570 miles on it, but in the last 70 or so, ive taken the rpm's well over 4500 quite a few times (upwards 15) how bad do you guys think ive beat it since its just being broken in, i dont really wanna **** it up but i did wanna see what it had to it
any reccomendations on breaking it in etc...? i usually try to keep rpms under 3k... def under 4k
cant wait for the 3k oil change

why not beat on it now so if something breaks there's a possibilty they will cover it under warranty? i never understood why people want to wait till the warranty's up.

It's funny these days that modern engines rarely arrive "raw" at the dealer. The break-in process is almost always handled at the factory to some extent.
The rest of the car however, is a different story. Breaking in the brake-pads is critical to proper rotor wear........and I forgot to do it myself; I had "new car fever" and it slipped my mind.
The procedure involves bringing the car up to speed (60mph) and hammering the brakes down to a roll........repeat........3 to 4 times. It "seats the pads" and prevents glazing down the road. I'm suprized it isn't mentioned in the owners manual.
It'll suck your nuts so far into your body, you'll pray for a quick death by drowning!
Good luck out there.

As the other posts indicate, it's now time to set her free. It's good for the rings at this point.

Moncton! I used to be a lifegaurd at Shediac Beach as a summer job when I was in high school in Fredericton. A tropical-like setting with a beutifull white sand beach, but I always dreaded somone having trouble in the water because HOLY MOTHERF^#$@#! That water is COLD!
