Would breaking in a new motor be considered enough cure time? The motor was running more that 1600 rpm for more than 20 minutes. Plus a few times running for tuning and a couple trips around the block....

I'm not driving it every day but good grief how much cure time do the headers need? Thinking of just wrapping them in black header wrap.
