Engine break-in with new Clutch (plz read, i've done my share)
So im picking up my car tomorrow. Rebuilt my evo8's motor with 2.3l stroker duel to oil consumption. I did my research on how to break in the new motor and im pretty confident this will be easy.
Maybe someone has some good info or suggestion on .....
Q; How am i supposed load pressure on the piston rings with a new clutch?
Cause apparently you have to step on it, in order to create this pressure on the rings, so they can bed in properly. But obviously i cant put to much loan due to new clutch that requires a 300mile break in.
What's a safe rpm range for a new clutch during break in? 4000rpm?
And can i do short burst of accel from 1500rpm-3500rpm to create this load on the rings, or will the clutch really not like that?
any info would be appreciated.

You posted in the X forum, not that it should matter. My tuner broke in my motor by doing vacuum pulls on the dyno...engine braking, etc.
Torque is what harms clutches but the motor needs a variety of rpms to break in, so lower the boost as much as possible to drop the torque...make yourself a nice big boost leak or something.

Would vacuum pulls be enough? Doesn't seem like i'd get a lot of load on the rings that way?
