They will never just assemble an engine and put it in a vehicle.

Imagine what it would cost them when a customer gets in, turns the key and bang. motor blows because someone forgot to tighten something or other. And the press hears of it.

We don't even run in our race motors. We run them in on the dyno and on the 1st race day Running in is for old technology engines.
There is a video floating around on this forum showing how these cars are manufactured. They spend a couple of moments on the dyno to check that it's working, that is all and it's hardly running the engine in.
