I guess I'll be surprised if it was the break-in that caused any problem with an H.

You may find the oil pump has a twisted off shaft or other major malfunction.

I'll never give advice on break-in of engines because I'm always all puckered up wondering if I over-tightened a rod bolt so I check for oil pressure and run it real easy until I get some faith in the finished job.

But, an H turns so slow if you had a major failure after just a few hours you'll find it was not the break-in procedure.

I did have a neighbor who rebuilt an old M without mic-ing the crank, just took out std bearings and the crank looked good so he put in some 0.002 undersize for good measure. He also did not use plastigage and had to pull the tractor to get it started. It spun all four rod bearings. He could not believe that the crank was not worn at all.
