Yeah I think you would be fine. Talk to 100 different people about engine break in, and you will get 100 different answers. All ranging from never driving the car, and just praying to the 86 gods like Mr. Mcoupe says(lol), to driving gently following the manual, all the way to essentially racing the engine right from the get go. I have seen people do nearly all of the above, and I do not see any correlation between different break in methods and engine longevity. I am one for breaking it in how you will drive it all the time. So on my old race bikes, my break in was the first race on the new engine. For my daily driver, I will follow the manual, and then have a bit of fun with it after break in.

Thanks,
Rick
