So you immediately get on it in a car with new rod or main bearings?
Did you read the line that you quoted? He said "UNLESS it's been rebuilt or been torn apart its already broke in" meaning, if he just bought a used motor and installed it WITHOUT putting new bearings in, the motor is already broken in.
Oh, and to let you know, I installed new rod bearings and flogged the hell out of it the day I got it running. 37k miles later, it runs better than ever.
