By the way to be accurate, I am an FAA licensed aircraft mechanic, but I used that gig to pay my way through engineering, so I don't do it professionaly now. From both an education and experience point of view, ring seat break in is very critical on airplane engines. We did it both ways and have lots of experience on it.

Finally, I can see by your anger toward me that this is really important to you. Trust me, this issue doesn't even blip on the scale of real problems in the big picture of life. I'll let you have the last word on this thread and hope one day I can buy a beer.

Continuing this argument is pointless, you have your opinion and I have mine. Good day to you Sir.

I copied this from Harleys website.

TESTED-CERTIFIED for use in Harley-DavidsonŽ engine, primary chaincase and transmission applications, the new Screamin' EagleŽ SYN3Ž Synthetic Lubricant makes changing and topping-off fluids a simple, one-product process. Developed with a proprietary three synthetic basestock formula, Screamin' EagleŽ SYN3Ž Lubricant is formulated to provide for long-term protection and engine cleanliness requirements and to provide superior high-temperature protection for high-output engines. SYN3Ž is formulated to maintain the coefficient of friction for proper clutch operation and to provide the proper lubrication to the primary chain drive. In addition, SYN3Ž is designed to provide the correct lubricity for the anti-wear requirements of transmission gears and for improved seal protection. This formula is approved by Harley-DavidsonŽ for use in all stages of engine life and is not detrimental to the break-in stage of engines.
