Your fellow highway travelers must hate you for crawling along at under
100 meters per hour (>300 feet per hour), or do you just drive on the
shoulder?. :-)
Old engines were manufacturer with oversized bearings and rings, which
required a break-in period before the items resized and refitted
themselves. New engines are manufactured with precise measurements, so
no break-in period is necessary.
