The most interesting thing I read about break-in suggested that go full throttle on the engine for a few seconds before the first 50 miles, something about the throttle pressure helping to seat the valves..... but, you need to do this without getting the rev's over 4,000 rpm. The solution I came up with was to put the car in third gear at around 1,600 rpms and then go full throttle. Since the engine has almost no power at that RPM it will take a while before you hit 4,000.
