Angier,

Most new engines have had their initial ring seating done during the test run. This should be documented with the engine papers. Check it out. Personally, my Cont. IO 550 G broke in very nicely even with a fair amount of taxi testing. I now have close to 200 hrs. on it and it looks real good.
