It doesn't take much to break a motor in these days. I don't know why folks still follow the old methods from the 70s and 80s. Definitely not suggesting you bounce off the rev limiter in every gear and slam gears as hard as you can, but rev her up and use engine breaking like stated above. The "don't drive for extended periods at the same engine speed" is good advice. Just change gears, yo.
Oh, and I know one of you said "break her in on the dyno" as a joke, but that's actually a great controlled and safe way to break an engine in. How do you think the guys with purpose-built race cars do it?
