Out of curiosity......
Is a tunnel run the best option when running an engine in?
i would have thought smooth and gentle was the order of the day, not short sharp acceleartion, followed by rapid lift off....

Not quite, this is why I try to rack up a couple of hundred miles up on any engine I build before handing it over, smooth and gentle can lead to poor ring seal and an engine that doesn't produce the goods.
A couple of pointers for those running in engines,
A couple of pointers for those running in engines,
- regularly check oil and water levels, this is your responsibility, before and after every journey is a good idea
- ensure oil is up to temperature before using higher engine speeds
- vary speed and throttle position and therefore engine load, do not sit at the same speed on a motorway for the entire period

Yup, all parked up outside now
Really missed driving it, even restricted to 4k to run in its great to drive.
Just need to do 1000 miles and put a front mount on, then the fun begins
