They need to see redline soon, but not too often to give them time to cool. I would only use 1st or maybe second on a manual to keep the time of loading shorter.
Your post is a little hard to read. There is more oil for the rings on a fresh hone. I stated that you need to rev it to redline soon after you start to drive it, the first 5 miles. Extended time at high RPMs too early can overheat the rings which is the reason for lower gear burst. You should also make sure everything is up to temperature. I am not an engine builder or ring expert, that's just what I've heard and it makes sense to me.Ozsum2 said:I dought they would overheat, because of the excess of oil getting past them to lubricate them. The crosshatch pattern on the cylinder walls is there to "cut" the rings to a perfect fit. Speed is varied to accomplish this, and some higher rpms are required.
