Hey Webb,
I'd agree with all except for the 1,000 mile "no over 3,000 rpm & under 55mph". These limits are way over cautious. The most important part of new engine break in is the first 30 minutes when the cam seats. After that the rest is mostly for the rings. What is important is not to labor the motor with high loads at low rpm's.
I'm not suggesting taking it to a race track out of the box but by 500 miles you should be able to drive normaly (normal for me is not normal ). If your going to throw a rod at 500 miles you'll probably throw it at 1,000 miles of break in.
The rest of the list is pretty much normal maintenance, not just for break in.I think alot of this is "mechanics insurance" to make sure the customer doesn't pick up a fresh motor & head for the auto-cross.
P.S. His handwritting is almost as bad as mine /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
