I had heard some other suspect stuff about complex harmonics within the engine and how wear (including break in wear) happens at in different places of bearings and cylinder walls at different frequencies (RPMs). Constant RPMs caused wear in specific places and unevenly so you wound up with an engine that you thought was run in but was still tight (or loose depending on which bit you are talking about).
Like I say sounds suspect.

What about accelerating hard from a cruising speed like drop the hammer to second when going about 40 and gunning it hard?
Whoops already done that too. (only a couple of times not at every on ramp).
The one thing I haven't done is to do a hard acceleration from stand still all the way through the gears.
This whole break in thing is tuff.
