This break in period is why I have used a Dynometer for the last 30 years or so on fresh overhauled motors. I usually run them at 15-20% load for a few minutes to make sure of not leaks and oil pressure. I then go to 50% for five minutes, then 80% for five and then 100% PTO load for at least one hour.
