New Engine Break-in quandry

[DFrosty]

Hello Gents

I've been reading up on MotoMan's "How To Break In Your Engine For More Power & Less Wear !" and would like some of your actual and first-hand observations if you used this method....

90q 20v track car
7AT to S2 spec
- built bottom end
- built head

Here's my quandry:
Getting close to engine reassembly and 1st start-up. I've spent a lot of money on this part of the build and would like to follow the specific steps myself because I am **** like that. Now if 034 has to do the tuning on the dyno, which is what I presume, how do I do the break in steps before 034 does tuning if it will be running 'crappy' due to ecu in stock mapping??

Thanks

Trailer?

And let them run it in on the dyno?

Also you realy need to put a cheap oil in it so all things bed in nicely. I no it sound stupid but mineral oil will let piston rings ect bed in quickly.You only need to run the motor in for say 500 miles. If you put a good oil in your engine before its run in your rings will not bed in and the engine may glaze the bore which will make it smoke
