Good advise. Engine parts tend to wear together better. when speed (RPM) is varied.

Also, when breaking in any car, I simply dont push it to hard for the first 1000k. and then, gradually start pushing it harder until I'm eventually driving as I normally do.

As far as speed is concerened,, well you can red line it in first gear going realtively slow so, a little common sense goes a long way;.

BTW, this is one reason why a tach is alway a good thing to have. My tach is now installed in my HB.
