Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power
Interesting reading. I don't agree with everything the author said but that's typical. To each his/her own and I can respect that. However, much of what the author recommends is similar to what I do. I didn't see his qualifications on the article but I did gloss over some parts of it since I'm at work so I might have missed it.

I do feel topics like this are a waste, especially when the OP asks a question like this after he's already run the engine hard. What's the point? If you don't have specific intimate knowledge of how an engine actually works (besides the push start button) just follow the owner's manual.

You can ask 1,000,000 engineers the same question and get 1,000,001 answers, TRUST ME.

To me the most important part of the whole process is lubrication and heat management. That's MY opinion and nobody has to agree or follow it because it's highly likely (just ask my lady) that I'm wrong anyway.
