i believe the only way to break an engine in is to put jd break in oil in, let it warm up. then find the biggest implement you think it could pull then give her h*ll. ive heard of mechanics taking their freshly rebuilt tractors over to very big trees and set the front end against the tree and let the tires spin. with no probelms.
with modern honing patterns the only way to get the rings broken in is to work the engine very very hard from the moment you first turn the key. otherwise the rings wont get broken in, and you'll get blowby early.
i found a website that explained this theroy very well, i will try to find it and post the address
also do the oil changing intervals others have mentioned
