Re: opinions on break-in

Drive it as you would normally from day one.
Babying it for X number of miles may build a ridge on the top of the 
cylinders. Once you rev it up, the pistons expand, hit that ridge and 
snap off the top ring. (in theory)
I always break in a motor for a good 20 minutes, change the oil and 
drive it like I stole it.
Retorque the head, adjust the valves and change the oil again at 500 miles.
