Should be picking up a RV6 in the next week or so that is getting new clyinders. Have been trying to educate myself on breaking in new clyinders. Read a bunch of different opinions on the matter. Question is how soon can you do touch and gos etc. I have TW endorsement, but need 10 instruction in the plane for insurance, but at the same time want to make sure I break in cylinders correctly. Hindsight being 20/20 I would have flown somewhere to do a 6 checkout ahead of time but I didn't. Thanks.
Opinions vary, but I wouldn't do them until at least 10 hours. The later the better. Big key is NO low MAP steep decent work else you risk ring flutter untill the rings seat properly.
