Default DLE 30 break in question??

I just got my new DLE 30 for my TF Stinson ,and while reading page 2 They stated and I quote: "During the break in process engine must running with shock aborber installed or engine will be seriously damaged by vibration"

I have run ZDZ 50s and 80s bolted to the fiewall with the usrall metal stand offs as also included with the DLE 30-

i bench ran a a couple of tanks on a wooden stand mounted to a table... that the way i do all my gassers..... you will be fine running it on your plane. The airframe acts as a shock absorber

Bolt it on and fly. I like to peak the high end and then back off about an 1/8 of a turn. For the first gallon or so vary the thottle. It gets better with each tank!
