i haven't broken in an engine in years however the old school answer is drive around for short trips at different speeds to help set the rings then change oil at 500 miles. its possible todays rings seat / set without that , i would contact an engine builder or sponsor to verify or google correct way to break in new engine maybe. cheers!
