New cylinder installation

[Don Patterson]

Doing a top end on my IO-360 and installing new Lycoming cylinders along with new pistons,rings and valves. What would the proper method of breaking in the cylinders and should I use mineral oil.

ECI has a well written set of break in instructions.

A google search of Lycoming cylinder break in will give you lots of info.
