There are multiple schools of thought on break in. A lot of it translates about the same depending on some factors, piston type(cast, forged) and liner type(sleave, coated bore). What do you think break in accomplishes? Do you really think it takes 500 miles to seat a set of rings? A lot of what you read in the owners manual is a lawyer band-aid.
