Anyway, zero oil consumption.
I've broken in two motors this way and had no issues, so will continue to do so until I see evidence pointing to an alternate method. The idea is to neither baby it nor drive it like you stole it, but rather to drive it "normally" and avoid constant engine speeds whenever possible.

That is exactlly the way the instructions told me how to do it on my new GM crate motor (zz383). Actually to take it to redline slowly in a lower gear then let it coast back to 2,000 rpms and so on. I forgot about that proceedure
