Planning my first flight in my 10 in latter June or early July. The advice from the FAA for phase I testing (taxiing, stalls, slow flight) is at odds with Lycoming's advice to run 65-75% for 50 hours. I have spoken to Lycoming and they understand, encourage following FAA recommendations but limit abrupt throttle changes, adequate engine running to get into oil temp range and keep CHT below 435 or 400. Engine is a YIO-540-D4A5. Mineral oil for 50 hours.
What guidelines have others done to minimize cylinder glazing and allow rings to seat adequately?
