I said 160 in an 80. That's what I was doing. The cop who ticketed me asked how fast I was going. I, of course, didn't tell him. He said he was going 120 and I left him behind. I told him maybe he needed a faster car. He explained to me how badly he could make things go if he wasn't such a swell...

Babying it can be just as bad or worse tho. They are correct in the need to force your rings out hard against the crosshatch. But generate too much heat and you get glazing. Same effect from babying it or using synthetic during break in.
7M; I think what you are seeing is normal. It will feel...
