The engines are bench tested (oil pressure and flow) and then installed into
the vehicle. After installation and vehicle build, they are run at the
factory for about 1 mile. Then, they arrive at teh dealership where we
check them over and drive them for another 5-10 miles.

Are new engines test run in the factory ?
Should a no mile'age vehicle engine right from the dealers lot be run in ?
