I Ran engines on a regular basis on my old M+W dyno not so much to break them in as to make sure everything was right. I would test the cooling system, oil pressure, and watch for any leaks. I always ran 5 min. or so at half throttle, medium load. Then a light load, then heavy at low RPMs. Then when everything was ok and up to temp I would run at full Rpms light load, medium load, then all out and pull it for all it had. You could see a HP difference between when you first started then when done. 20 -25 min. total. Never did anything fancy, or used any special oil or additive. After 35 years some of these engines have 10,000 hours and still smoking. I don't think its anything special, just apply a load at different RPMs and at different loads. If you have to wait for the dyno to cool off every so often ok. Best thing I have seen to break one in is a chisel plow or deep ripper. How many guys bought a new tractor back in the day to baby it? Most went to the field as soon as they were unloaded off the truck in the farm driveway. Most guys never were schooled how to break one in, just check the oil n water and go. If break in procedures were critical very few old tractors would be left alive. Al
