RCF Proper Break-in Period?
Hi guys, just wondering if this is on everyone else's mind? As the title states, i'm curious to know what is the proper break-in period for the RCF. Please don't say, check the owner's manual, cause my F didn't come with it (pending at this time). I know this was discussed on the ISF forum, some say it comes broken it from the factory, and others would wait till at least 1000-2000mi before spirited driving/drag racing/etc. I don't daily the F so any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

usually its 1000 miles or km of not constant rpms, try to avoid idling too long. Its probably a CYA thing for the manufacturer, even though break ins are debateable. Honestly I just drive it like normal not beating on it but not babying it for break ins. A lot of these cars are dynoed from the factory too.

As soon as the oil is at full temperature the handcuffs are off. Pushing it will help the rings and valves seat. Babying it will make sure it burns a lot of oil. Your choice.
