   Compression test and break-in oil

      I decided just for giggles to do a compression test on the motor I   
   just pulled from my log splitter . Got around 50 PSI after about 6 pulls   
   on the starter rope . That may be a good number if this motor has a   
   compression relief device for easy starting . I haven't checked yet but   
   plan to .   
      And the new motor is doing just fine , hardly burps when loaded with   
   a big log . What's a reasonable time to run the break-in oil ? I've got   
   about 2.5-3 hours run time so far , varied RPMs and load and a couple   
   minutes at idle before shut down . I'm thinking around 5 hours , 10   
   seems like a bit too long .
