the blade puts a load on the motor,,,, some guys say the blade cools the motor to much,,, need warp the head to get heat into the motor.. and it is very,very, very very loud...... need to have good ear plugs....

tkbrown and I have actually experimented with a similar break in bench. It makes it very easy to break in an engine but there are a few drawbacks: it is very very loud and it seems to shorten the life of the engine (both the rod and the sleeve). Nothing scientific, just observations.

That was using the "Rody" breakin method that we experienced shorter engine life. I would assume you could do the Heat Cycle Method as long as you cover the head and let it get up to temp properly. IT IS LOUD THOUGH especilallly when you do it in a garage...

I have one, as they say you must cover the head to get the right temp, if you do it right its a fast and safe way to break it in, but personally I prefer to run it in the car instead, but my freinds dont.
