The break in period is mostly a formality these days. You're supposed to not go into VTEC (3500+ RPMs), but since every Honda is redlined from the factory on a dyno to make sure it produces proper amounts of power, it is a non-issue these days. Engine tolerances are extremely tight. The only thing I wouldn't subject it to before 1500 or so miles would be sustained high speeds (90+ MPH) or racing (not street racing, race track racing) :thumbup:
