You make a good point. In my initial post i didn't even think to consider that there will already be a few miles on the odometer, by then most of ring bed in will have already occurred making the hard break in, like you said, a little on the pointless side.. I must admit that i was instead a bit fixated on a strict engine rebuild scenario, not so much on all the logistics that are involved with getting a new car.
