lol yeah. it can definitely help sometimes. like if someone decides to go on a little rant. well a long rant, and then asks a question at the end. now you can get rid of the rant.

Spark Plugs: NGK ZFR5N Copper (anything except copper may not work correctly)

Break In:
Non-synthetic 5W-30 or whatever the engine manufacturer recommends
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/4...iques-1127049/

Short Summary:
- PRIME THE PUMP BEFORE STARTING!!! (until the dash gauge reads pressure disable the ignition and fuel systems for this)
- Do not let it idle for long (20-30 seconds max) - hold the throttle between 1500-2000 RPM for 15 minutes (Vary the throttle a bit)
- Drive it around city style for 20 miles - varying RPMs between idle and 3000 RPM, accelerating and decelerating (engine braking) for this period
- Change Oil and Filter (non-synthetic)
- Drive normally for 500 miles, keeping revs below 3000 RPM
- Change Oil and Filter (non-synthetic)
- Drive normally for 2000 miles, avoid redline runs
- Change Oil and Filter (non-synthetic)
- Drive Normally for 5000 miles
- Change Oil and Filter (non-synthetic)
- Drive Normally for 5000 miles
- Change Oil and Filter to whatever you plan to run though the life of the engine

That's some dedication. Reminds me of when you couldn't get Sun Drop in VA and I used to smuggle cases back from NC.
