that is how i broke in all my motors. i rebuilt my old truck motor about a year and a half ago. 1992 GMC truckwith a 350 in it. i let it warm up, backed it out onto the road and layed it square on the floor right after i installed it. 15k later still runs great and doesnt smoke one bit.
my quad has had only 1 problem sincei havehad it and broke it in that way and that was a few blown headgaskets, which were in no way a result of the break in unless you consider the higher compression staying around after break in a side effect. if you search for that website, you will find alot of people suggest that way to break things in.
