OK you need to obtain a good combustion pressure. This will make the rings and bore wear togther properly.

To do this you need moderate to high load at medium rpm. The days of poor machining tolerances are gone so the old school methods of running in don't apply.

So driving up some inclines in a higher than normal gear may be the go. Keep varying the revs, don't let it sit on one rev for too long. Warm up the engine before you go anywhere. Use a good quality mineral oil. Change at 500Kms, I wouldn't change to full synthetic for 2000KMs. I would keep the boost low.
