Heres a piece of advice...
Goto Jay Car, buy a couple of rare earth magnets (Watch the fingers, they DO bite)
Stick one on the oil filter, when you change the filter, throw the magnet away as well (You'll never get it off easily) and have a look inside the filter at the amount of metal that the magnet has caught...
I read an article on breaking in engines, and if you want the rings seated properly (To avoid oil leaks through the rings) Run the thing hard for the first 20KMs (Hard revs)
If you want an engine that can pull in low revs, once you have around 200KM on the clock, labour it in high gears... Makes the engine work harder... Been advised to do this with performance petrol engines, AND diesels...
I myself would be giving it plenty of revs, but not 100% of the time
As said before, keep an eye on the temp...
