Hmm. They didn't mention run-in during the rebuild class? As a M96 rebuild class participant, couldn't he just contact Jake to get more information?

With that being said, I have two friends that had their engines professionally rebuilt recently and they were told that the break-in period was 1,000 miles. During this time they were supposed to drive the car at varying speeds (streets and highway) but avoid rev's over 4K rpm. Oil was supposed to be changed at 500 miles and again at 1,000 miles.

I can't say with any confidence whether this applies to your engine or not, but it is what others are doing.
