if you are talking about breaking in a new engine, listen to me: after you have it assembled, start the car, and baring any huge problems like an obvious metal on metal sound or bad leak, hold the engine as close to 2k rpm's as you can until it is up to operating temperature. after this, go for a little drive, find a nice open, straight piece of road, and in 3rd gear, accelerate from 30-50mph at a descent amount of throttle, once you hit 50mph, let off, and let the engine slow itself down to 30mph on its own. do this about 12 times. you are seating the rings, if this isnt done properly your engine wont ever have the compression it should and could burn oil. use a GOOD oil filter, and NON-synthetic oil. i bought the cheapest crap i could find. change your oil and filter after 500 miles. you might notice a few metal shavings, no biggie. change it again at 1k miles. from this point id drive normal, just dont beat the total shit out of it just yet. change the oil again at 2k miles, and you can switch back to synthetic then. car might burn oil during breakin, it WILL make weird noises, so dont let it freak out. and i would avoid interstate driving as much as you can, or more specifically maintained high speeds. you want stop and go to break an engine in. goodluck with it man.
