Or rod bearings have a break-in period...

Or a new engine should be driven gently for 1,200 miles (how the hell do you seat the rings??)...

The list can go on and on and on and on...

I am having a day...

Well, it's not a myth regarding breaking in a new engine for 1,200 miles if the engine is made with Alusil aluminum block and pistons.
How is that now?
