Actually im my opinion shuttin it down at 190 was a good thing, do it 2 or 3 more times I was taught to heat up a new engine an let her cool down totally , that helps seat the rings an other internal parts better than just runnin the heck outta it ...My Pappy said ...an i quote ..Run her in bye gettin her to temp ...shut her down ,,,let her set ...till cool ,,repeat several times ...an then Gouge on the ***** !...she will be fine .my Dads word for standin on it wide open !....
