4.3.8 Running in period The engine components are made of materials with different thermal expansion and stability. It should be gradually set to the normal engine operating temperature. First 60 hours of operation is considered as running in period. During this period, engine needs to be run with care at normal load (80 to 85% maximum). Aggressive operation and loading during running in will disturb thermal stability and leads to shortened engine life. 19
