I think engine is broken in already?

Um... yeah... it's never a good idea to run an engine like that in the air. You could snap a con-rod which will in turn tear apart the entire engine.

Also, killing your engine by pushing on the filter... not a great idea either.
 
I was waiting for the rod to shoot threw the case, with a nice pop lol! Do as olds said and never run your mill like that. If you followed the break in procedure from the manifacture, then it should be broke in correctly.

But it says to run your car on a box when you're breaking in? Oh, and I'm starting to just pinch the fuel line now.

Edit: Oh, nevermind. It said only for the first tank. Alright I guess a few more tanks to go.

That's if your doing the old school break in and your only supposed to let it idle for the first tank. Although, that's not a proffered method anymore either.
 
Oh. I saw on a Youtube video, they told me to puff it. I'll just do the heat cycle method.
