don't rev over 6000 rpm (some said 5500), and very your speed for the first 600 miles is what said in the owner's manual. you should at least do that.
what I did is graduately increase my rpm, EX: for 1st 100 miles, I never rev past 3000 rpm. for 200-300 miles I never rev past 4000 rpm. for 300-400 miles, I never rev past 5000 rpm. for 500-600 miles, I never rev past 6000 rpm....and I don't VTEC too much before my car has more than 10000 miles, because I know the F20C need almost 10000 miles to fully break in.
I use this way to break in all the engines of my cars, it's not necessary, but however I did get a very good dyno result every time...
