i asked the same question about 6 months ago when i was running my engine in
-try not to let it idle any longer than you have to
-start with crap oil, and each 1000km's or so upgrade to a better grade of oil, with a new filter too of course
-vary rpm as much as you can, but not too high to start with
-dont be afraid to step on the pedal between 3k-5k
-WATCH THE TEMP, its a tight engine, if those pistons get too hot and expand too much, it wont be good!
-take hills in the highest gear you can without labouring it (eg: load it up) although i think i got told labouring is actually good for running in, i tried not to do it too much, just feels wrong!
