Yes you will need to break it in to seat the rings. You are having the bores honed before installing new pistons right?

Yeah you should have the block honed....so therefore you need to break the engine in to properly seat the piston rings.

oooooooooooo yea the block is gonna be honed....but how do i break it in...drive it for 500 miles under 3k

^^^ yes, but i don't think 3k is really a big deal, just stay off the hard driving and don't go past 5k and use cheep oil no and i mean NO synthetic
