eko,
I probably am responsible in some way for not running into the cams (ie over 6200 rpms) for the first 600 miles. The guys at LCU specifically said it's a good idea to stay out of the cams for the first 600 miles. It's not written in the manual, just the moderate throttle settingss, etc.
As it was only 600 miles staying out of the cams for that period was no big deal, I was over that after my first week of ownership anyway.
As Tech and Surfer both said, Lotus is looking for blatant abuse during the breakin period, certainly going into the cams for brief periods won't constitute abuse.
Guess it just boils down to not abusing the engine ever but especially the first 600.
Got to say it's a blast the way it scoots after the cam changeover, the engine really roars!
