When people refer to "break" in,they are referring to piston rings even if they don't realize it,your rings need to seal as quick as possible to get a hold of oil control issues ,there are other reasons on why engines use oil but I'm talking about "rings" ,the rest of the engine is for the most part broken in.

As far as getting info on factories and their break in procedure you would have to just google it and you will come up with some info ,but as to where to find it I don't know off hand(I busy putting in my SC).

Oh!! and by the way my engine has a little less than 5k miles on it and I'm putting a Stage 1.5 GTM Supercharger on it so I think my motor is broke in.
