Re: Break in period For me, the cavitation plate bolting hardware seems to be a real bad actor...even with Locktite.

Re: Break in period I picked up my PD last week. I ran it for about an hour and dumped the oil replaced it with some cheap 5W - 30 then ran the piss out of it last weekend. Changed the oil and filter replaced the oil with some good synthetic 5W - 30. I put about 7 hrs on it this weekend.
