You got me beat... <G>

I use the "vary the rpm" rule for new or rebuilt engines...

It's important to me... 

But if it works for you, then stick with it...

The cam install instructions, that Autotech includes with every cam,
recommends 20 min @ 2000RPM...

It's not critical when installing a used cam, but I still do it. Even
after taking 10 hours to install used 268 Schrick cams and HD valve
springs in my friends '96 GTI VR6.

Btw, have you followed the same oil and filter change procedure for the
last 25 years also? ;^)
