  • break in question 2003 F115

    2003 Yamaha F115 four stroke

    I bought it new in 2003.
    had to put a new cylinder head on it. It’s a fully assembled and compete head.
    question is:
    im summing I’ll need to perform the break in period due to new flat tappet twin cams.
    do i need special break in oil for the break in period.
    on my classics I had to use a high zinc break in oil due to flat tapper cam?
    thanks

    I got a lot of Yamaha tech support and they verified that no specific high zinc break in oil is required to break in a new engine or one with a new cylinder head and flat tappet camshafts.

      I always thought the break-in was mainly for the piston rings and cylinder walls.
      thanks for posting back on what Yamaha told you
