i never bothered when building the civics engine, its metal on metal, its gonna bed in either way. and as for running in, i gave it the big one from go, driving quickly or slowly isnt going to affect it imo, all the americans do the same when building motors

Done one years ago by hand with some medium emery came out ok and car ran sweet, do not use Sand paper, clean out bores after and lightly oil them this will burn off.
