It's a recommendation, not a requirement to baby your car for a while. With the tolerances new motors are built at the concept of a break in period to seat rings and other things is less necessary. Obviously you don't want to ream it too hard, but you shouldn't be actually worried about damaging anything.

word. I dont think you need to baby it for as long as they recommend. Ive been told to do some easy and hard driving so the rings do seat properly. Ive broken in my last 3 cars right away with some heavy driving and never had any issues with them.
