I hear you. but man, I scorched the thing all the way home and back to work on the highway this morning. I don't understand how or why this is considered "Normal" break in. I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that I'm screaming up and down the highway so that I can get a product to settle properly. The truth of the matter is that I don't *normally* drive like this off of the track. A pull at a stop light here or there, maybe, but this is excessive. Seems like there has to be some sort of agent or alternate product that can be used in order to get around this terrible sound.

Sound is absolutely unchanged, from cold start up all the way until I pull in my parking spot at work today. That includes a couple redline shifts, some goosing the throttle, and all around abuse that I wouldn't normally subject the engine to. No change at all. If it was a little sound, I'd be able to deal with it better, but this sounds like someone banging a serving spoon on an empty coffee can. Getting pretty frustrated with this.
