New PP, same Disk/Fly.. need to break in?

After resolving my whole dilema with the Xtreme pressure plate, I ended up buying another Heavy Duty PP. So I'm now using the new HDPP, same street/strip disk and Jun flywheel that I was using on my last prelude, but have been sitting off the car for a while. I'm not sure if I should go through a break in period or not... I personally didn't think so, but a have some friends who think I should, and other who agree with me.

So, should I break it in again, or can I start having fun already

i would say to give it about 100-200 miles, then let loose, just to be completely safe. i don't know if its needed, but peace of mind is a good thing to follow

Its just like a brake rotor thats been freshly turned , take it easy for a little while untill it seats in and the springs in the pressure plate settle in.

Yea, anytime you change any mating surface you should give it some break in time.

Well I have a lot longer to take it easy (I've been taking it easy). I was going to the track last night, but I got kicked out of tech because I didn't have a battery hold down on my optima ... which sucks cause that ***** don't move NOwhere.. But oh well, now I have till next sat evening to take it easy on the clutch (like that'll last).
