There's really no break-in needed for modern mass produced ICE engines.

Thus I will not use one.

For some of the OTHER parts though, like clutch, brakes driveline, etc, I will be a bit more gentle to the car for the first 500 miles or so, just so everything gets bedded together nicely, etc. (well, there's a specific procedure to bed the brakes and I'll use that, but I'll be gentle on everything else until it's worn in just a little)
