Thanks for your reply ed, but the whole purpose of me posting this topic was to investigate the differences between one method of running-in versus another. One thing I can't understand is how everyone's opinions are so divided and splintered regarding facts about run-in's.  It's not a fact that I believe what you're saying, that's a given. It's more a point of why people run-in their engines the way they do, and the effect it has on the engine AFTER the run-in period (eg. longevity, performance, whether or not it goes bang, etc.).
Ed, if you know where I'm coming from on this, you'll understand that I do believe what you're saying. What I was looking for is justification for the reasons people bed-in their engines differently. Obviously the evidence points one general way, and that's abrasiveness to start with, but not for a long period... normal oil (mineral, 10W/30 perhaps?) for a period after that, and synthetic for the rest of it's life. Obviously oil filter changes in between as well.
