Headgasket break in?

[Cool Cat Racing]

Gaskets never require any break in. You can redline it hard once its warmed up the first time you drive it. If you use a MLS head gasket and good bolts there is no need to retorque them either. That's another myth brought about by old technology gaskets that would shrink. Besides that, proper torque settings are always in torque angles therefore making it impossible to check the torque after they're tightened. Lets not even get into all the myths about actual engine break in, that's an entire thread to itself.
