I have had some conversation swith the guys at DA and they do not recomend a bench break in. In fact, the only co. that says it is OK is 3W. I have bench broken in my 3W 157 with no issues and ran it for 4 hours straight varying rpm's every 15 seconds or so, but would not due a DA or any other without extreme care and constant monitoring of the engine temps and all important parameters. If you do dare to break one in on the bench, make sure you have 100% constant temp monitoring at all times.
