How do you break in an engine with a brand new clutch?

Worst option isnt always completely wrong.
It will take parts longer to break in or indeed they may not even break in correctly, but again I say more important is the actual build. If it's built right almost no running in is necessary, and loading the engine up and using available rpm's is always better, as piston rings require cylinder pressure in order for them to exert pressure against the bores which aids sealing and of course any bedding in that might need to take place.
Hence ******* about, low load, low revs etc is always the worst option.
it isnt to say some do it and it apparently works for them, but it is not the best option.
But if you've crap bore prep and build....wont matter what process you try and use, it will never run in and seal correctly.
Hence build it right in the first place, and go racing and drive it as you wish without worry. Build it wrong and you'll hunt for all sorts of excuses as to why it isnt right
