It looks like we have a couple of test cases.  Both these engines had
a high power breakin.  We should track oil comsumption and compression.

Grin.

I can see an invention.  The garden/deck sprayer, loaded with fuel,
oil or simply left over deck stain, with an extended line to the 
engine side of the air filter box.  

Get the car out on the road, and warmed up.  Then squeeze the sprayer
valve for that "breakin burst" as you climb the hill into the 
mountains.
