I'm not gonna tell you that you don't need to follow break-in periods, buuut, I know someone who took a tour of the East Liberty Honda plant (about a half hour away from Marysville), and they said the Honda tour guide told them EVERY Honda, no matter where it's made, is red-lined in every gear plus reverse. The minute it's pulled from the assembly line, ice cold, no oil or coolant circulated. They do this for QC check, obviously, and also to verify the hp and tq #'s (Honda notoriously underrates their engines a little, so they know what it's supposed to have and verify it makes it.) The tour guide explained that since the engines are designed and assembled with such tight, exact, and near perfect tollerances, break-in occurs instantaneously. While they do recomend a break-in period, your engine was as broken in as it will ever be the day you bought it from the dealer.
