Default Break-in Question - Easy one!

Ok, I'm just about ready to start my motor! Am very excited. I will run the engine without load, with 5-30w oil, at about 2500RPM for about half hour, for proper break-in. Question: May I do that half hour in say like, 10 min chunks? A very simple question indeed! Thanks. :chevy

With a roller cam and moly rings, you don't need to go through all that. Those types of break in procedures are only required for flat tappet cams and plain ion rings. Start up the engine and it's broken in with moly rings.
