Whe we rebuilt the Justy engine there was a lot of metal in the first oil change and a bit in the second. After that it was fine.

they way i'm going to break in my eclipse (and seems to be pretty standard with the dsm guys) is gentle driving for 50 miles, change oil, gentle driving for 500 miles, change the oil, and it should be good to go. They suggest not beating on it for at least 1000 miles total though.. oh and !DO NOT! use synthetic motor oil to break in a rebuilt engine...
