I took it to the drag strip shortly after that and it ran wonderfully well.
The color is KILLER!

In my experience with remanufacturing, issues with not following break-in procedure manifest in the short term (2 - 3 years) in oil consumption issues and sometimes piston slap issues, but most notably in long term (60k - 80k miles) cylinder and ring condition issues. When we get 60k mile blocks in that look like they are 100k blocks, its usually from a long history of oil consumption and rings scraping grooves into the cylinder walls. Our teardown / root cause analysis experts usually attributed this to not properly breaking in the engine and having the rings and seals seat improperly.
