The most important parts about running an engine in are loading it up, oil and never let the car idle...
Loading it up exactly how RA28 suggested or flat roads from 20kmh to 60kmh in 5th gear... That beds the rings in properly...
Oil - I used Penrite running in oil and it went fine... Left that in there for 100kms... Then changed to Castrol GTX2 (the black bottle)... Dumped that at 500kms... Refilled again with GTX2 and changed again at 1000kms... GTX2 again till 5,000kms and now I use genuine toyota oil... Really good stuff and cheap as chips...
Never let the car idle... Even when sitting at lights or in traffic, fluctuate the idle and the same as when in traffic...
