The method of running in an engine should be a reflection of how that motor is too perform, also how the motor is built has a large part of it.
True race engines are built with clearances in mind so that you can flogg it from the word go and have a determined life span.
Rings and bores are a whole new arguement....at the end of the day it comes down to metal composition, (in both ring and bore) operation tempuratures, and gap clearance.
I have my own methods of running in my motors and preferred running in oils that I use.....
I will leave you with the advice of, speak to the experts (engine builders, performance shops,) these people to it everyday and have a far varied experiance in this field.
