During engine break-in, you should operate within a controlled speed range.

During engine break-in, you should operate within a controlled speed range.

• A. 50 KM/H to 80 KM/H
• B. 30 KM/H to 60 KM/H
• C. 60 KM/H to 100 KM/H
• D. 10 KM/H to 40 KM/H

Answer: (B)

During break-in, the engine needs to wear in smoothly under moderate loading so that piston rings, bearings, and cylinder walls mate properly. Keeping the speed in a balanced, mid-range helps achieve this: enough piston movement and rotation to promote seating and establish a stable oil film, but not so much heat or stress that it risks glazing, scuffing, or excessive wear. The moderate speed range avoids lugging the engine (too low) where the rings don’t seat well and oil film isn’t worked into the surfaces, and also avoids high-RPM, high-load conditions (too high) that can generate excess heat and abrasion during the critical wear-in period. By staying in this controlled range, you encourage even seating and a durable finish on the cylinder walls and rings. So, the selected range is ideal for break-in because it provides the right balance of piston movement, lubrication, and heat management to promote proper seating without overstressing the engine.
