[alfa] Proper engine break-in

["David P. De Rosier D.D.S." <drderosier@xxxxxxxx>]

Jon Pike asks why don't modern cars require engine break-in.  My 2003 MINI
Cooper S had a stated break-in period of 1250 miles.  The instructions were to
not exceed 4500 r.p.m./95 m.p.h., and to not press hard on the brakes (if
possible).  So that is one manufacturer that still recommends a break-in
interval.
