Default can i shut the car off during the break in time???

when im running my motor at like 3k rpms for break in purposes (first time the motor runs), how bad would it be if i have to turn it off, perhaps due to some leaking fluids??

i know there are many ways of breaking in motors, but i think most of them have you run the car at a few thousand rpms for 10-20 min till it comes up to temperature. will it mess the break in up and screw my motor if i have a huge leak and need to turn it off to fix???


dumb question but ill be doing this tomorrow i jusst wanna have a vague idea. thanks

so what i derive from that is if theres a leak shut it down right away before the engine gets warm, then try again.

i just want to make sure the rings get a chance to heat up and expand nicely
