about 38k on the motor before i got it. not really 'breaking it in' per-se, as the wear surfaces were all broken in prior to receiving the motor. however, since it sat for so long, fuel & other contaminents will have entered the crankcase. also, i'd cleaned the motor, replaced a bunch of seals, etc.....

really, it's just an accelerated oil change interval with a new oil analysis done to make sure everything's a-okay.
