Hey - I am a simple man.

Drop engine in car at the last minute (always the day before I really 
need it).

Drive 45 minutes to the racetrack (gentle run in).

Thrash the car around the racetrack in competition while my mechanic hid 
his eyes and blocked his ears and wondered what I didn't understand 
about his instruction to try not to take it over 5000 revs this time!

Red mist and a passing car (or one just up ahead) seems to obscurte the 
tacho when you are out on the racetrack!

Never had an issue with that method of running in a new engine and its 
components!
