Nah, I doubt it.  They run them off the line, put a bit of fuel in them, start them up, if they go, then they get driven out to the yard and that's about it.  If they don't start, which a lot don't, they put them to the side where they have a team of mechanics there to work out what went wrong.

Havn't they already completed a run-in procedure at the factory, before you even get it?  Or at least a partial one?

    Thanks for that, but the main thing I should have mentioned is that it is a
    new engine (SS Commodore) just want to run her in right...

    Iggy,

    There a a number of myths regarding the running in of
    a rebuilt engine ( as opposed to a new factory engine)

    The only component in an engine that needs to be
    "bedded in" are the rings. This is usually acheived by
    "semi labouring" (NOT pinging) the engine in 3rd gear
    up a steep incline. This forces the rings against the
    walls of the cylinder and they take up the shape more
    quickly.

    Vary the engine speed  i.e. Dont sit on the same speed
    for long periods of time. Some rebuilders also suggest
    "running in" oil and changing it after approx 500Km.

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Bruce
