Rusty: Based on NO rotary experience, just other stuff, I would still recommend no- detergent, dyno stuff for initial break in, not M-1.  you don't ever get a second chance to make that first impression.

Joe, I seriously doubt it.  I broken my in about three hours of ground running and I am not even certain that was required.  The important thing is to break it in using mineral based oil rather than a synthetic then changing the filter. 
 
Well, I hope you're wrong about that mineral based oil thing, because I've got Mobile One in mine, and plan to leave it there.  I do have mostly used parts in the engine though, at least as far as bearings and such go.
