it really depends on you and what kinda parts you used. ive seen people break their motors in on engine dyno's. i put a new motor in the fastback in january. it went in on a friday night, drove it to the exhaust shop the next morning, adjusted the valves shortly after, and then started beating on it that same night. i spun it past 7 grand numerous times, and havent really looked back since. ive changed the oil about a dozen times since. i think she's fine ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Agreed it depends on parts but commonly 500 miles is the norm. Usually no synthetic oil till 3000 or so miles.
