everyone will have different views because everyone does it differently.. I myself and a couple of mates have built engines before and we never have run them in...we just chucked oil in them and started thrashing them...and those engines are still going fine now...

I have seen the same thing from rebuilt motors myself, some last forever while being thrashed, others just seem too die in the arse, I personally think how it is built (who's done it etc). you should follow a run in if you wan't the motor too last you a long time
.Don't to a trailer for the first 800km
.Never drive at one speed for a long time, either fast or slow
.keep revs while driving in between 2000rpm and 4000rpm for the first 1000km
.Advoid overreving the motor by changeing back gears
. driving on a highway would be good but take it easy and keep an eye on your temperature gauge (remember motor is still tight)
this is what I beleve, if you want it too last,don't overrev motor as this will cause excessive wear and a very poor fuel ecconomy, and don't drive at an engine speed so low that the car labourers, this will risk pinging.
N.B always service the motor if you look after it, it will last you a long time.
As for the mods you wanna do you could get away with that now if you wanted too, Although I'd wait for the motor to run in (around 5000km) and see what it is capabale of first before deciding too do any form of modification
