Yet another aspect to consider is that you can't just set an engine on a stand and run it under no load, and expect it to break in properly. You must have a controllable load placed on the engine while it is running. There is where the majority of the $$$ for an engine dynamometer is going towards. If I were you, and I were building enough engines to warrant such a setup, I would just purchase a SuperFlo or something like that.

I fully understand where you're coming from, dude. I thought about building a setup in the same way, but determined it just wudn't worth it.
