I don't doubt you. It's just not the optimal plan, and had you gotten it with 0 miles, or close to it, maybe not the plan you would have followed. I doubt your car is a dog or anything because of it, though. However, who knows if it might have run 0.5mph faster had things been different? We will never know.

I would be interested in someone with more money and time on their hands bore-scoping 2 modern car's cylinder sleeves (370Z even better) and then comparing them, then breaking them in differently and re-scoping.

THAT would be eye-opening.
