I've realllly reallly tried to stick to the break in procedure. I typically keep in under 4k RPM and I vary my speed and don't exceed 80mph. However on a rare occasion I've held a gear to 4k RPM and punched it just for a sec or two and got out of it before redline. I've might have done this maybe 3 times. I'm still just over 800 miles on my engine.

I've heard both schools of thought when it comes to breaking in the motor but never really knew which way to go so hopefully I didn't just go and ruin things for those couple moments of weakeness.
