for some reason my hanys manuel said to "quickly accelarate" form 30 to 50, then let go of the gas and let it decelarate, then do it like 12 times.. then run it easy for 500 miles....
similar at what thata guy said?

There are so many different methods and opinions on breaking engines in that it's not even worth asking. You're going to get 75 different ways to do it and it will all come down to what you feel comfortable doing.

I would beat it N/A first, just because that is alot of extra heat on a motor that isn't fully "broken in" yet.
