Wow, mine never smoked a bit that I recall. Paul Lenneman was there too. 
We probably broke it in a bit higher than 2500 at times as I was pretty 
antsy and never let the engine stay at a steady speed. Then after the 25 
minutes I got on it regularly. Paul and I smoked the right rear pretty 
good not very long after the intial break in. Typically in the past I'd 
put 1000 miles on it before I got really serious. This time I took Don 
D's advice and have molested it often. I have over 500 miles on it now 
and I do not and never have seen any smoke, except the time it puked up 
some oil out the dist shaft.

BTW I went .040 over and used Plasma moly rings.
