There are two schools of thought on breaking in engines. Some people follow the book, others say to break it in how you plan to drive it. So if you plan to drive it hard, break it in hard.

I personally mostly followed the book, but did start opening up the rpm limit tank by tank. First tank I stayed below 4000rpm, second tank I stayed under 4500rpm, third under 5000rpm, fourth tank I was over 1600km's. I didn't stay away from WOT after the first tank though, it got some short WOT blasts up to whatever the "redline" for that period was.

Over 50k km's now, not burning a drop of oil and still pulls plenty strong.
