So much for Exotics, an '80s Porsche 911 is now cheaper than a posh Ford Fiesta and there are more of them still out and about on the road than the Vauxhall Cavalier!!
Running in Most people think that running in an engine should be a gentle exercise that smooths down all the rough spots and beds everything in.
For 1950s bearing surfaces they are probably right, and high-revs for a cold engine are a definite no-no. In fact before you turn the key, the engine-build grease is all the cams will have to rely on until the cold, thick oil drips through and the main bearings etc should not be loaded until they are full of pressurised oil of a good shear strength.
