Didn't we just have this discussion ?  Possibly it would be OK, but several top
engine builders (including Kas Kastner) say to run the engine under substantial
load during break-in (after an initial period of fast idle).  Unless you have an
engine dyno, you can't do that on a stand.

You could probably do the initial run-in on a stand, but don't forget you have
to provide cooling and whatnot ...
