Hell no. Those days are long gone. Just drive it, but don't labour it in a high gear at low revs

Light throttle on and easy engine breaking as well,componants need to be gently loaded both ways an the 1st time it goes cold you shood no if you ment to re-torque head,. do 1st oil/filter change at 500ks

this advise is more relevant if you have rebuilt it - being a 2011 model im going to assume its brand new

Just drive it, and driving it hard wont cause a problem. No need to retorque head etc. First oil and filter is due at 10000km. If it needed it more frequently the manufacturer would say so. Have you read the service book!Spoken to the service department where you brought it !

basically load it up, vary the revs, but don't pull excessive revs - you want those rings to bed in well otherwise you're going to have oil burning issues. Generally the factory takes care of the first crucial stage of running in though.

just drive it as you intend to keep driving it. Too much 'running in' is worse for a modern engine than normal driving,, especially on a mitsi.

Well having had to run in a new hi po motorcycle they do have specific revs to keep under for certain KMs but that was only for 1500km then you pretty much road it as per normal without being stupid till about 3000km then you cando what you want. Plus the oil change and check. And these instructions were in the prettylittle manual to.

start thee car, grab a brick and put it on the accelerator until the car dies.

engines require hard driving to properly seal the rings
without being driven hard, rings will never properly wear the bores in - the end result is the enigne will never get normal max compression
gently driving for too long results in less HP than it should otherwise have standard
by the time its done 50 km's , you should start loading it harder & harder

by 1,500 km's on a motorcycle engine you should be performing top speed runs with max throttle accelleration loads
