Break-in Recommendations

My mechanic friend always says, "The best way to drive a 2-cycle
Detroit is with both feet planted firmly on the floor."

Since that is not possible, I suggest you monitor temperatures
closely on the return trip. It will get plenty of work from Canada to
TX so you will not be able to baby it. I always ran in engines on
aircraft and cars at full power. Don't personally know about a 8v92
but consider it in a boat. They are always under power. so what else
could you do. So I would guess you drive it like you stole it. But
then again, I am spending your money.
