I broke mine in hard as well. Didnt beat it up but gave a couple wot and drove it hard. Doesnt use any oil as of today 1yr later. Changed the oil at 1500mi and drove it normal..which is hard anyway. My friend builds lot of motors, old and new school. The first startup takes 15min with breaking oil. He then changes the oil, makes a couple 1/4mi passes, changes the oil again and drives it. No blowby or oil consumption issues. Running it hard early helps the rings expand and seal better. Babying the car just glazes over the cylinders and will always blow oil by. Good rings are important as well.
