Mate I strongly suggest NOT to let it idle. The rings bed in within the first 30mins or so of the engines life, with it sitting there idling they will never bed in.
I made this mistake with my 18RG and ended up just glazing the bores.
Start it, quickly check for any problems, then get in and start driving!
I dunno why, but seems from the old dinosaur V8 days people used to let the engines idle for hours to wear in and then drive on the freeway at 2000rpm for 8 hours. Dunno why this was but with our engines it's not the way to go about it.
Maybe back then bearing technology wasn't as good?
