Why sticky it? None of the newbs read what's up there now. No point adding another thread up there.

How about I put it in the FAQ?
I will stick to what auto manufacture's recommend, thank-you.
I've seen first hand on Mercedes (especially the AMGs) when you don't follow their specific break-in period and it ain't pretty.

he words this very badly IMO. He says run it hard.
A better practice is to incrimentally up the revs and then let off the throttle and coast down. Then take it a little higher.
Essentially your placing extra load on the seals so they mate up to the wall "better".
However if you run the engine hard winding it up over and over again your going to overheat something, theres a lot of friction as the parts are wearing in.

I read it again today... seen it a long time ago.... it's a neat theory, however controversial.
For the record.... anyone who's seen an assembly plant knows they do run them hard right off the line.... so... GM does do it already....
