Beat me to it. The new Skyline, or just GTR as they're calling it, has nitrogen in all 4 corners. If I could remember what they said on Top Gear about them doing that, I'd explain the reason lol
I though with roller cams, you didn't have to do break ins? Now, I know this is OHC, but I'd assume pretty much a similar deal.
I have 2 great pics of an LT5 TT. One is just stock, the other is Year Ones in Tim Allen's Chevelle

While it might not be the correct way to go about it, my friend has always just tossed in 30w, let it run for a few minutes while revving it up a bit more, and then drive it around. He beats on it right away to make sure they seat all the way up and down in the cylinders.

The LT5 at year one is not Tim Allen's. It's Jack Jenkin's and was the car was built by Dan Wickett.
Again not trying to insult you just giving some info.

Not to bust your *****, but lots of cars use nitrogen in the tires most of them have green valve stem caps to indicate this. They do so because, nitrogen molecules are larger and don't seep out as much over time.
