Should I break them in?

With proper clearances and oil pressure, there should never be any metal to metal contact on bearing surfaces. There should always be a film of oil between the bearings and crank. So there should be no break in time on bearings only.

How about if you do rods and pistons too?

Using some of my knowledge from my Ford days, I was thinking about 1500 miles to establish a wear pattern. But, I have heard others say that 250-500 miles is sufficient. Any ideas on that theory?


So far I definetly like 2xLS1's idea.
