They say 1000 miles but i'd say 700, change the filter and oil, get it set up and away you go!

depending on what has actaully been done
full engine rebuild-remember to run cam in for 20 mins at 2k rpm
id do about 800-1000 miles on shitty oil,stayin off boost and low rpm for around 500 of that,then introduce small boost and a little more rpm
then oil/filter change and set up/rr

shells/rings etc-i reckon around 500 non abusive miles adding small bosst and revs as the miles clock up
