DO NOT baby it, granny it, cruise on the highway at a low RPM, or otherwise be nice to it for the first whatever miles.

We build engines, and this is by far the #1 misconception about a new engine. If you baby an engine it will never break in and it will be just as not broken in at 2,000 miles as it was at 2 miles.

In order for rings to seat you need high cylinder pressure to press the rings against the cross hatch of the cylinder walls, which means you need to get on it, often.

Once an engine is up to temperature it is ready to be beaten on, regardless of how many miles are on it.

I Totally agree, Run it hard once it is up to normal operating temperature.

My opinion is vary speeds, power and so forth. Bottom line is you don't want to get on i95 and cruise 300 miles at a more or less constant 65 mph. I would not push it close to redline for at least 1k miles though.. Just my opinion.
