Bob, Steve Bennett broke in my 2180 VW before he shipped it to me. He told me he ran it for one and a half hours at wide open throttle. He was careful not to let the engine overheat during that break in. If the engine started to overheat he would shut down, let it cool off and then run some more, and keep repeating until he got an hour and a half wide-open throttle on that engine. Hope this helps.
