If we were discussing the newer engines with the thin oil clearance, I would agree with you, but all the older engines have such large clearances, it is not quite as critical. I rebuilt a 351M Ford engine a couple years back and their starting instructions with a new cam shaft is to prime the oil pump, start the engine and let if run at 2500-3000rpm for a 1/2 hour minimum to break in a new camshaft. So I guess everyone has his own way to rebuild engines. I rebuild a lot of single cylinder engines and put them on tractors and go use them and have never had a failure due to not "breaking the engine in".
