I also have the WDP/Parchment (but not Navi, I can't be trusted with technology).
All the best and congratulations!!!

Congrats Darla! I hope you're getting as much enjoyment out of yours as I am from mine.
Jyang - The break in period is typically the first 500-1000 miles of the engine's life. A new engine has tight clearances. Break in is when the piston rings seat (seal), the bearing clearances increase slightly, and the valvetrain adapts to a life of rpm
You'll get varying opinions on break in. I've been building domestic race engines for nearly 10 years and I've yet to put a single mile on one of those engines before flogging it on a dyno and then sending it down the track. Some swear by break in, and some swear it isn't needed on today's computer cotrolled engines.

Loving my 08 TLS!
I know the suspense is killing you. But don't worry, at the end it is worth the wait. Congrats by the way!
