As far as the running in proceedure, i ran it in hard,varing the revs, right up to 5500rpm now that its done 1100ks. Must bed in those rings!!!
With run in, also be aware you need to run in brakes, tyres, suspension.

From what many are saying about running in the engine, the most impact is in the first 100 km's. Once beyond that and you achieve little.

No excessive rpm's, no excessive labouring of the engine, varying speeds.

Interesting though that most manufacturers don't even bother suggesting a run in process.period these days.
